The Brewers lead the Rays two games to none, and on Monday night their old ace Freddy Peralta stands between Milwaukee and its first championship.
The Brewers finally have their pennant and a week to wait, while the Rays and Guardians sat out a Cleveland rainout and could now face four games in four days.
The Dodgers, Brewers and Rays all advanced Wednesday on plays decided at the top of a wall, four of the five teams left are among baseball's cheapest, and the White Sox try again to close out Cleveland tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
The Braves finally beat the Phillies in October, ended 30 years of losing winner-take-all games, and did it behind a 32-year-old opener who once pitched in a Reno men's league.
The Braves won 94 games and the NL East, and starting Tuesday afternoon at Truist Park they get at most three games to prove the Phillies are just another opponent.
