The 2026 ALCS is set to resume Saturday night after a rainout on Friday. The Cleveland Guardians will host the Tampa Bay Rays in ALCS Game 4 at Progressive Field, with the home team looking to take a 3-1 series lead. It will be a chilly night in Northeast Ohio, with temperatures dropping into the 40s during the game, but the forecast is free of rain during the game.
There will be no more off days in the ALCS, with a potential Game 7 set for Tuesday. Whoever wins the series will be moving on to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 World Series.
The Brewers are headed to the World Series for the first time since 1982 after completing an NLCS sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night. The Brewers have secured their first National League pennant and will now attempt to win the franchise's first title. World Series Game 1 is set for Friday, Oct. 23.
The MLB playoff bracket is down to three teams. The Padres, Yankees, Braves and White Sox were all knocked out in the LDS round, while the Phillies, Astros, Red Sox and Cubs were sent packing in the Wild Card Series.
