Update:  Milwaukee pulled a fast one replacing Wade Miley with Woodruff, a Tier 3 average pitcher,  after one pitch.   This change lowers TC sim EV for the MIL line to 117.   Had this been known ahead of time it’s quite possible the LAN line would demand an even higher premium.  Seems Miley will be pitching game 6 in Milwaukee.

Update 10/18/2018: Since we’re from the future we know Dodgers beat  Brewers in the below game.  Perusing its box score apparently MIL put their weakest relievers in as some sort of strategy to save everyone for a final two game push at home.

That’s all fine and well but sidelining the top half of a Tier 1 relief staff affects analysis.  There is no way to mathematically measure a managerial decision like that and in the realm of counting among thousands of games anomalies become part of background noise.  We’ll see how this strategy pans out the next two games and how it affects the market.  <end of update>
