Pregame analysis
Written before the game.
The 2026 World Series opens on Friday, October 23 at American Family Field, with the Tampa Bay Rays visiting the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 at 8:00 PM ET. Milwaukee holds home-field advantage after the best regular season of the two clubs: 103-59 with a +214 run differential, against 98-64 and +86 for Tampa Bay.
Both teams arrive in form. The Brewers have gone 7-1 this October: they beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 in the NLDS, then swept the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in the NLCS, scoring 21 runs to the Dodgers' 11. Their last game was on October 15, so they come into Game 1 with a week off.
The Rays are 7-2 in the playoffs. They swept the New York Yankees 3-0 in the ALDS, holding them to five runs in three games, then dropped Game 1 of the ALCS to the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 before winning four of the next five, closing the series with a 7-3 win at home on October 19.
Milwaukee will start right-hander Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1. Misiorowski went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP over 30 starts this season, with 252 strikeouts and 44 walks in 174.2 innings. Tampa Bay answers with right-hander Nick Martinez, 15-6 with a 3.10 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP in 31 starts, 109 strikeouts and 26 walks in 180.0 innings. This Rays vs Brewers prediction will be refreshed once both lineups are posted.
