  "account": "The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays are set to face off in the 2026 World Series. This will be the first championship for the Brewers, reducing the number of MLB franchises without a title to four. The Brewers defeated the Rays in two of their three games during the 2026 season, though they lost the first encounter of the year. The Rays have strong pitchers who were once with the Brewers, including Freddy Peralta and Drew Rasmussen. Peralta has been impressive in the playoffs, while Rasmussen had a successful season. The Rays have made it to the AL Championship Series in three consecutive years, just like the Brewers over the same period. Tampa Bay's early-season struggles have been notable, as they were one of the smallest markets in MLB, ranking 28th in total payroll allocations. The World Series will mark the first time two non-top ten market cities meet since 2015.",
  "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.",
