But the 2026 MLB Playoffs will continue on Sunday with Game 5 of the American League Championship series between the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As usual, I am writing this in the past, which means I do not yet know the outcome of Game 4. And neither team has announced a starting pitcher as of this time. But either way, the game will start at 5:00 p.m. PT on Sunday, airing on TBS\/HBO Max, with national radio coverage available on ESPN Radio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I think we\u2019ve all weighed in on who we want to win this series, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that\u2019s who we want to win this game. Personally, I hope this series goes a full seven games so the winner is tired going into the World Series, because it\u2019s a rare year that my rooting interests are for the National League team. But after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers, I think the Milwaukee Brewers have more than earned our support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">But that\u2019s just my opinion. Who are you rooting for in Game 5?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning, baseball fans! There is, unfortunately, no baseball to be had today (Saturday).
