The Tigers and Yankees try to advance tonight
One LDS series has ended, as the New York Mets eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies last night, advancing to the NLCS, where they will face the winner of Friday night’s Padres/Dodgers game.
Today, two teams with 2-1 series leads — the Tigers and the Yankees — will also try to advance, rather than being forced to play a winner-take-all game on Saturday.
The early game is Cleveland at Detroit at 5:08 p.m. Central time on TNT, with streaming on Max. Tanner Bibee is scheduled to go for Cleveland, with TBD for Detroit. The Guardians are -120 favorites.
In the later game, the Yankees are at Kansas with a 7:08 p.m. Central time start on TBS, with streaming on Max. Gerrit Cole pitches for the Yankees against Michael Wacha for the Royals. Yankees are -155 favorites.
