But that’s what Charlie Morton is for.Morton is 5-0 with a 0.70 earned-run average in the postseason since joining the Rays last season. Just six days ago, he helped Tampa Bay into the World Series by pitching five-plus scoreless innings in a Game 7 win over the Astros.So, he’s got this, right?Obviously, it’s not that easy. The Dodgers hit the ball as well or better than any team the Rays have seen in the playoffs. They’ve got their own ace on the mound in Walker Buehler. And nobody is infallible.Still, if you need a pitcher to win a big game for you, there aren’t many better than Morton.Need more to feel good about?The Rays’ defense, led by three-time Gold Glove winner Kevin Kiermaier , has been outstanding throughout the postseason.Second baseman Brandon Lowe couldn’t have picked a better time for his bat to come alive, hitting two home runs in a 6-4 win in Game 2.And Tampa Bay has been able to shorten games by using its top relievers in high-leverage situations , no matter when they might come along.There will be another element in play tonight. Namely, the lack of elements. Due to inclement weather in Arlington, Texas, the roof of Globe Life Field will be closed for the first time this postseason. During the regular season, that meant an average of more than three fewer runs scored per game.Will that play into the Rays' hands?Follow along, starting at 8:08 p.m., as Morton and his teammates aim to take their first lead of the series.
