NEW YORK<\/span> — The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians will have to wait one more day to decide their ALDS matchup. The winner-take-all Game 5 was postponed due to rain Monday night. The game will be made up at 4:07 pm ET on Tuesday. The winner moves on to face the Houston Astros in the ALCS, which begins Wednesday. The loser goes home.<\/p>\n

“If you would have told me back in, I don’t know, March, we just signed up to play Game 5 in New York to go to the ALCS, I would have jogged to New York,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said after Game 4.<\/p>\n

Game 5 is the second postponement of the ALDS. Game 2 was postponed as well, leading to Games 2-4 being played on three consecutive days. Game 5 would have made it four games in four days. The postponement gives both bullpens — and both teams in general — a little bit of extra rest before playing a win or go home contest.<\/p>\n

With all that mind, let’s take post-rainout stock of each team’s pitching situation heading into Tuesday’s Game 5.<\/p>\n

Starting pitchers: Nestor Cortes vs. TBA<\/h2>\n
