  "account": "The Milwaukee Brewers will face the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2026 World Series, marking the first time since 2015 that both teams will be outside the nation's top 10 markets. The Brewers won the first two games of their three-game series this year, but the Rays have shown they can compete, with pitchers Drew Rasmussen and Freddy Peralta both former Milwaukee players. Rasmussen led all qualified pitchers with a 0.913 WHIP in 2025, while Peralta has been dominant in the postseason, allowing just two earned runs in 16⅔ innings. The Brewers' general manager, Matt Arnold, was once the associate general manager for the Rays under Andrew Friedman. The Rays have made it to the AL Championship Series in 10 of their 10 postseason appearances since 2008, just like the Brewers.",
  "summary": "The Milwaukee Brewers know their foe in the 2026 World Series; it's the Tampa Bay Rays, who beat Cleveland in the ALCS and will face the Brewers on Friday.",
