The Championship Series are underway in the National League and the American League. Milwaukee has taken a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Dodgers, which has the Dodgers beat panicking that maybe the best team money can buy can’t actually…
Bleed Cubbie Blue analyst Sara Sanchez provides a perspective for Chicago Cubs fans on the 2026 League Championship Series matchups. In the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers following a 7-4 victory in Game 2. Sanchez frames the NLCS as a clash between Milwaukee's analytics-driven roster construction and Los Angeles's massive financial payroll, noting both clubs won over 100 regular-season games.
In the American League, the low-payroll Cleveland Guardians lead the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 after a 7-3 win powered by home runs from Chase DeLauter and Patrick Bailey. Sanchez highlights that the ALCS features two small-market clubs seeking elusive titles, as Cleveland has not won a World Series since 1948 and Tampa Bay has never won a championship franchise title.
