They made it to the World Series in 2008 but lost to the Phillies, so they are still needing their first championship. Tampa will take on the winner of Sunday night’s Game 7 between the Braves and Dodgers.

The first game of the World Series is scheduled for Tuesday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The Rays have not yet announced their pitching plans, though Tyler Glasnow lines up to pitch Game 1 with an extra day of rest. He will presumably get the ball Tuesday.

It wasn't easy, it wasn't pretty
