The Milwaukee Brewers have also been in excellent form, winning their last five games, including a 6-4 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams have demonstrated high performance levels as they approach the World Series.

The Rays' next scheduled game is against the Cleveland Guardians on 21 October in the MLB. The outcome of the World Series will have implications for MLB's viewership and broadcasting strategies moving forward.
