Tampa Bay (98-64, .605, 1st AL East, 1st AL, 3rd MLB) knows when, but not who it will play in Game One of the American League Championship Series. The Rays host at Tropicana Field on Monday, October 12th at 8 PM EDT and all ALCS games will be aired via TBS and the HBO Max streaming app. Cleveland or Chicago must play a deciding Game Five tonight after the Guardians evened up their ALDS with a win on Thursday over the White Sox. The Dodgers and the Brewers have an NLCS Game One set for Sunday night at 8 PM EDT in Milwaukee, WI. Today is the 34th time this season the Rays will be off since the season opener and the first time since before training camp it has been on a Saturday! Tampa Bay has had one Sunday off (earlier this week), eight Mondays, three Tuesdays, two Wednesdays (July 15th which was the day following the All-Star Game, and October 1st), sixteen Thursdays, and three Fridays without a game scheduled. Last year, between games one and 162, the Rays had 23 days off, which included the ones that come as part of the All-Star Game break. This season, there were 24 scheduled days off, which did not include rain delays or postponements or days off between the regular season and postseason or between postseason games.

Cleveland–Chicago Game Five Preview1:00 – 2:41

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:00

If Tampa Bay could choose, it would probably be the American League West champs that they'd like to face, since the Rays went 5-1 against the Guardians during the regular season.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:09

It's not like the White Sox played that much better, but Tampa Bay went 4-2 against Chicago during the year.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:17

Thursday was the if necessary day for the Guardians and White Sox, or the first one.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:22

Either way, if that holds true in the playoffs, the Rays beat the Guardians in five and then the Sox in six games in the ALCS.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:32

But both teams, Chicago and Cleveland, still emptied their bullpens on Thursday night.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:39

Eight pitchers for Cleveland and seven for Chicago.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:43

Now, the White Sox are going with starter Sean Burke tonight.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

1:46

He's got an 11-7 record during the season, a 3.34 ERA during the regular season for the right-hander, but pitched bulk relief in game two and allowed just one run over 5-1 third innings in that one.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:00

He got the win.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:02

The Guardians have Gavin Williams' schedule.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:06

14-8 during the regular season with a 3.76 ERA for that righty.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:11

And he started game two, gave up the tying run in the sixth after Cleveland had been leading since the first inning.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:18

But the White Sox won game two, so it was a no decision for Williams in that one.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:24

Do both teams empty their bullpens again today? Probably, because there is no tomorrow.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:30

There is no game six.

S

Steve LaScalzoHost

2:32

Today is the last game of the ALDS between those two teams, and they are going to be fighting hard to go on and play the Rays.
