The Milwaukee Brewers have advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1982 after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers secured their league title on Thursday, ending the Dodgers’ run, who entered the series as the reigning champions and favorites.

Meanwhile, the American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays experienced a disruption due to severe weather. Torrential rain forced the postponement of Game Four, originally scheduled for Friday night, delaying it until Saturday. At the time of the postponement, the Guardians led the best-of-seven series 2-1.

This weather-related delay could have scheduling implications for the eventual American League champion. The winner may face the Brewers after potentially playing four consecutive days, as the World Series is set to begin next weekend. The outcome of the Guardians-Rays series will determine which team will meet Milwaukee in the upcoming championship.
