The Brewers have seven days off before Game 1 on Friday. Will they get the job done in the Fall Classic? https://t.co/Q Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Milwaukee claimed the National League pennant to reach the Fall Classic. Game 1 is set for Friday following a seven-day break between series.

Why it matters: The gap allows Milwaukee to reset its pitching order before the opener. Milwaukee has not hosted the Fall Classic since 1982, ending a 44-year drought.

What to watch: Friday's Game 1 will establish Milwaukee's starting pitching alignment for the series.
