After a day that saw three teams advance, only one Division Series remains to be decided.
MLB’s top three teams during the regular season, the Brewers, Dodgers and Rays, won series-clinching games Wednesday. The White Sox weren’t able to match them, falling 9-3 to the Guardians in their first home postseason game in five years as Cleveland kept its season alive.
Chicago has another opportunity to close it out on the South Side Thursday, and is planning to use reliever Hagen Smith as an opener one night after he faced five batters in Game 3.
While the Sox won’t expect much length out of him, Cleveland will out of his fellow rookie left-hander Parker Messick. The 25-year-old has been the Guardians’ best pitcher all season but took the loss in Game 1 of this series despite allowing only two runs.
Can Chicago clinch or will the Guardians send the series back to Cleveland? Here’s everything you need to know to watch today’s Division Series game.
