#Rays are American League Champions, beating #Guardians 7-3 in ALCS Game 6 in Tampa. TBR will face #Brewers in Milwaukee in the 2026 World Series starting Friday.

Cold Night in Cleveland: Saturday’s first-pitch temp for ALCS Game 4 was 46°F/8°C. Was coldest for an ALCS game since 2009 Game 1 for #Angels at #Yankees (45°F). The only colder Cleveland postseason game was 1997 World Series Game 4, with a game-time temperature of just 35°F.

#Guardians and #Rays have alternated wins over first 4 games of this series. 2nd time that’s happened in an ALCS since it went to a 7-games in 1985. No ALCS has ever had teams alternate wins through first 5 games of a series. It happened in the 1997 NLCS for #Marlins and #Braves.

In any best-of-7 League Championship Series, when a home team (#Guardians in this case) wins Game 5 they have a 66.7% chance of winning that series. When the away team (#Rays in this case) wins Game 5 they’ve won the entire series 70% of the time.

Last night marked the first time an American League Championship Series game was postponed since 2019 ALCS Game 4 for #Astros at #Yankees.

After a rain postponement Friday the AL Championship Series will start again tonight at 8:00 ET/5:00 PT. Game 5 will be on Sunday at 5:00 ET/2:00 PT. Because of the postponement there will be no scheduled off-day. Game 6, if it’s needed, will be on Monday at Tropicana Field.

ALCS Game 4 for #Rays at #Guardians has been moved to Saturday at 8:00 ET due to inclement conditions. Game 5 will be played Sunday, originally a travel day, at 5:00 ET.

#Rays are looking to get back to the World Series for a third time. They lost the championship to #Phillies in 2008 and to #Dodgers in 2020. TBR and #Padres (in 1984 and 1998) are the 2 #MLB clubs to reach multiple World Series but lose each series.

For all-time, #Guardians are 3-3 in ALCS Game 4’s but haven’t won one since 2007 vs #RedSox. #Rays are 1-1 for all-time in ALCS Game 4’s with a win in 2008 vs BOS and a loss in 2020 vs #Astros (in a game played at an empty #Padres Petco Park due to COVID restrictions).

#Brewers punched their ticket to the World Series, which starts a week from today. But will they face #Guardians or #Rays? Game 4 of the American League Championship Series kicks off at 8:00 ET/5:00 PT. CLE leads TBR in this best-of-7 series 2-to-1.

#Brewers join 1923 #Yankees as only #MLB clubs ever to be swept by a team in the prior postseason and come back to win a postseason series against that same club in the following season.

#Brewers are now the 6th #MLB team to sweep a 100-win team in a postseason series, joining 2004 #RedSox (WS vs #Cardinals); 1999 #Yankees (WS vs #Braves); 1990 #Reds (WS vs #Athletics); 1963 #Dodgers (WS vs NYY); and 1954 New York Giants (WS vs #Indians).

#Brewers trailed #Dodgers 4-0 through three innings tonight but came back for the big win. MIL becomes the first team in #MLB history with 6 comeback wins in their first 8 games of any postseason. MIL is also the first club ever to trail in all 4 games of a best-of-7 sweep.

With Thursday’s win #Brewers are back at the World Series for the second time in club history and first time since 1982. MIL is 1 of 5 #MLB teams to never win the World Series along with #Rockies, #Padres, #Mariners, and #Rays.

#Brewers win the National League pennant, defeat #Dodgers 6-4 in a 4-game sweep of the National League Championship Series. MIL will face #Guardians or #Rays in the 2026 World Series.

#Dodgers are 26-27 all-time in Game 4 of a postseason Series, including 13-21 in Game 4 of a best-of-seven series overall, and 8-9 in Game 4 of NLCS. This is just the 2nd time #Dodgers trail a best-of-seven 3-0 after being swept by #Orioles in 1966 World Series.

Of the previous 42 clubs like #Brewers that have held a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven, 32 have swept the series in 4 games. Five of those instances have come in the current NLCS format.

Do or die time for #Dodgers. Win or their season is over and #Brewers head to the World Series. In any best-of-7 postseason series for all-time, teams with a 3-0 lead in the series have won the series 41 of 42 times. The only loss was by #Yankees to 2004 #RedSox. #NeverGetsOld
