History will be made in this World Series: Either the Brewers or Rays will win their first title

The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays will meet in the 2026 World Series, marking only the second time in over a century that two teams without a championship will compete for the title. The Brewers defeated the Padres and Dodgers to reach the Series, while the Rays won the AL East with 103 and 100-plus wins respectively, both recording franchise highs. These franchises have been intertwined since MLB's 1998 expansion, with the Brewers moving to the National League to accommodate the Rays' arrival in the American League. One team will secure its first World Series championship in the matchup beginning in Milwaukee.
