The 2026 World Series is set, with the best of the American League ready to take on the best of the National League.
The Milwaukee Brewers finally won the NL pennant, making the World Series for the first time in 44 years after a franchise-best 103 wins in the regular season. Led by manager Pat Murphy, the Brewers have a very balanced team with stars like Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski ready to take the big stage.
However, the Brewers will have to go through the Tampa Bay Rays, another team looking for its first-ever World Series championship. Kevin Cash's team is headlined by Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz and Drew Rasmussen and won 98 games in the regular season.
Milwaukee will have home-field advantage, but both these fan bases are excited for a potentially franchise-altering series.
