The Guardians are back in the MLB playoffs for a third consecutive season, and after a hard-fought ALDS, they’re now battling the Rays in the ALCS. This team just took down the White Sox in a thrilling five-game Divisional Series, showing some serious grit. It’s go time, and Cleveland is on the verge of something big, looking to make a deep run a decade after their last World Series appearance.

That ALDS Battle Was Wild, Now It’s Rays Up

Talk about a rollercoaster start to the postseason! The Guardians kicked off their playoff push against the White Sox, and it was a true grind. They dropped the first two games at home, losing Game 1 3-0 and Game 2 4-3. You could feel the tension, right? But this squad didn’t back down. They roared back, crushing the White Sox 9-3 in Game 3, then following it up with another dominant 9-5 win in Game 4. It all came down to a winner-take-all Game 5, and the Guardians delivered a clutch 2-0 shutout victory to punch their ticket to the ALCS. What a series!

Now, the focus shifts to the ALCS against the Rays. We’re already two games deep into this Championship Series, and it’s tied at one game apiece. The Guardians started strong, taking Game 1 with a solid 7-3 win on October 12th. But the Rays responded, snatching Game 2 with a 3-1 victory yesterday, October 13th. Every game from here on out is massive.

ALCS Is Set For Cleveland, Don’t Miss Out

The ALCS is heading to Cleveland, and you know Progressive Field is going to be rocking. Game 3 is set for today, October 15th, at 6 p.m. ET. Then it’s Game 4 tomorrow, October 16th, also at 6 p.m. ET, followed by Game 5 on Saturday, October 17th, at 8 p.m. ET. This is where legends are made, folks!

If you’re looking to grab tickets, StubHub has you covered. The get-in cost for Game 3 of the ALCS at Progressive Field is currently sitting at $130, but you know those prices will jump as the series heats up. Every order is guaranteed, so it’s a solid way to get in on the action.

Beyond this weekend in Cleveland, the series moves back to Tampa for Game 6 on October 19th (5 p.m. ET) and, if needed, a decisive Game 7 on October 20th (8 p.m. ET). The Wild Card series kicked off September 29th, the Divisional Series just wrapped on October 10th, and the Championship Series runs until October 20th. This whole MLB playoff bracket is intense, and the World Series is slated to start on October 23rd, running until Halloween. Can the Guardians go all the way? This team is hungry, and they’re ready for their best push in a decade.
