MLB The Show 26 Dodgers vs. Brewers Program: Get 99 Aaron Ashby

The Dodgers vs. Brewers Program is live in MLB The Show 26, with four 99 OVR cards from the National League Championship Series. Aaron Ashby closes the reward path at 50 program points, after Evan Phillips, Kyle Tucker and David Hamilton.

You can finish without the Postseason collection. Seven moments earn 21 points and unlock Phillips and Tucker. Earn 2,026 Parallel XP (PXP) with those cards to complete both PXP missions for another 30 points.

Quick answer: Seven moments plus both PXP missions provide 51 points, enough for Ashby at 50. Use 2026 Postseason Dodgers or Brewers cards so the same 2,026 PXP qualifies for both missions.

Which cards does the NLCS program award?

San Diego Studio announced the program on October 16. Its four player rewards are all 99 OVR, with two Dodgers cards followed by two Brewers cards.

There is also a Deluxe Choice Pack at 40 points. The path awards 1,000 XP at each of the first four checkpoints and 2,026 XP at the finish, for 6,026 XP altogether. Those XP rewards are separate from the program points used to unlock the cards.

The full Dodgers vs. Brewers reward path shows the cards, pack and XP in order.

How does the 51-point route work?

Complete any seven of the ten moments. Each is worth three points, so seven bring you to 21 points, past Phillips at ten and Tucker at 20.

Put Phillips in the bullpen and Tucker in your lineup. Both are 2026 Postseason Series cards from the Dodgers, so their combined PXP qualifies for two missions: 2,026 PXP with Dodgers and/or Brewers for ten points, and 2,026 PXP with 2026 Postseason cards for 20.

The listed route supplies 21 + 10 + 20 = 51 points. That clears Hamilton at 30 and Ashby at 50 using cards awarded by the program itself. You do not need to buy a Postseason card or complete the collection. Any strikeout or total-base mission you also finish can add more points.

The PXP mission counts in 1 vs 1 Ranked, Ranked Co-op, Battle Royale, Events, Weekend Classic, Play vs CPU, Mini Seasons, Conquest and Diamond Quest. Offline players can use Play vs CPU, Mini Seasons, Conquest or Diamond Quest.

If you would rather use existing team cards, all ten moments supply 30 points. Nine strikeouts with Dodgers players and 32 total bases with Brewers players then add ten each, enough for the 50-point reward. Those two missions do not require the new Postseason versions.

Can you skip the moments?

Yes, if you already have suitable cards for all four missions. The mission list offers exactly 50 points without the moments or collection:

All four missions list the same eligible modes as the Postseason PXP mission above. Use cards whose displayed team and series match the requirements. A Dodgers or Brewers card from the 2026 Postseason Series qualifies for both PXP categories, letting the same eligible PXP contribute to both missions.

The earlier Wild Card programs and Division Series programs provide more Postseason cards to check before building that squad. The seven-moment route gives you Phillips and Tucker before you start the PXP missions.

What does Ashby's card offer?

Ashby is a Brewers closing pitcher with 50 stamina, 122 pitching clutch, 114 H/9 and 90 BB/9. Compare the complete card below with the relievers already in your bullpen.

Tucker's card has 105 contact and 106 power against right-handed pitching, alongside 125 contact and 115 power against lefties. Phillips adds a Dodgers relief pitcher with 125 pitching clutch and 115 H/9. These give you another hitter and reliever to use while working toward Ashby.

Is NLCS MVP Jake Bauers part of this reward path?

No. SDS announced Jake Bauers as a separate Postseason collection reward. He is not one of the four player rewards in this program.

For Ashby, leave the optional one-point collection task aside. Seven moments and the two PXP missions already supply enough points, so a collection lock-in adds nothing you need for the final program card.
