Brewers-Rays history
The backstory:
Milwaukee and Tampa Bay faced each other in the second series of the regular season. The Brewers took two of three at American Family Field and outscored the Rays by a combined 16-7.
The Brewers are 15-13 against the Rays since the teams first met in 2005, Tampa Bay's eighth season in existence after the club began play in 1998.
Both teams are chasing their first World Series title. Milwaukee last won the pennant in 1982, while Tampa Bay won the American League in 2020 and 2008.

Many know the clip – "WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!" – Samson Herman's moment of pure bliss when the Brewers won the NLCS caught the attention of two generous fans who brought his story full circle, surprising him with tickets to see the Brewers play in the World Series.
What's on the line?
Why you should care:
Whichever team wins the fall classic becomes the first to do so in their franchise's history.
The Brewers led Major League Baseball with a franchise-record 103 wins in the regular season and finished at or near the top of baseball in a number of key statistical categories. They became the second pennant-winning team in team history, joining the 1982 American League champions.
Tampa Bay had an American League-best 98 wins in the regular season. The Rays reached the World Series twice since the club's inaugural 1998 season, but have never hoisted the Commissioner's Trophy.
