Story summary

The Chicago White Sox face the Cleveland Guardians in a decisive Game 5 of their American League Division Series on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with the game set to start at 8 p.m. ET from Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The TV broadcast will be on TBS and truTV. The White Sox are underdogs, with moneyline odds of +113, while the Guardians have -137 odds. The series is crucial for both teams; a win advances them to the ALCS, while a loss means an early end to their season. The White Sox, who had won two games in Cleveland earlier but lost the last two at home, need strong pitching from Sean Burke to turn things around. Cleveland will start Gavin Williams on the mound, aiming to keep Chicago's lineup quiet. This game is particularly critical for the White Sox, as it marks a century since their last postseason series win at home.
