The 2026 World Series promises to be a special one as it features two teams that have never won a championship in their history.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host Game 1 at American Family Field, which will mark the organization's first World Series since 1982. Milwaukee will send ace Jacob Misiorowkski to the mound, as the expected NL Cy Young winner hopes to get the Brewers off to a strong start.
Misiorowski will face off against the Tampa Bay Rays, who are set to play in their third-ever World Series. Tampa Bay's Game. 1 starter is expected to be former Brewer Drew Rasmussen, whose performance in the playoffs thus far has been magnificent.
The winner of Game 1 will take an early series lead and get off to a strong start, but it only marks one game of a potential seven-game series.
