One spot in the 2026 World Series is set after the Brewers dethroned the Dodgers with an NLCS sweep, but there's still a ways to go on the AL side.
Back at home Thursday in Game 3, the Guardians took the series lead with a 3-2 win over the Rays behind another strong pitching outing from Gavin Williams and a massive homer by Petey Halpin.
That sets Game 4 up as a turning point in the series, with a Cleveland win putting the Guardians on the brink of advancing and a Rays victory resetting the series at 2-2.
After an unplanned night off Friday due to rain, they'll reconvene Saturday after an extra day of rest for their pitchers.
Here's everything you need to know to tune in to today's League Championship Series action.
