Why the Rays added Ryan Sherriff to the World Series roster

The Rays World Series roster is out, and now facing the not so right handed heavy lineup of the Dodgers, some changes needed to be made.

One of the more surprising moves was swapping out the hard throwing, electric Jose Alvarado for Ryan Sherriff. Both LHP who were not used extensively in 2020, but with the Dodgers lineup featuring mighty sluggers like Max Muncy and Joc Pederson, and MVP caliber superstars like Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger, LHP in the Rays bullpen will be called upon to get vital outs in the World Series.

I think the entire reason for this switch comes down to one thing: groundballs.
