The Cleveland Guardians' 9-3 victory in Game 3 of the ALDS, sparked by José Ramírez's extra-base hits and Jo Adell's bases-loaded triple, shifted momentum after the Chicago White Sox had taken a 2-0 series lead with road wins. Now trailing 2-1 in the best-of-five, the Guardians face Game 4 on October 8 at Rate Field, where White Sox pitching and bullpen adjustments will be tested against Cleveland's lineup. A Guardians win forces a decisive Game 5 on October 10 at Progressive Field, while a White Sox victory ends the series in four. Recent form, home-field advantage for Chicago in Game 4, and the absence of confirmed injuries or lineup changes shape trader views on whether the matchup extends to the full five games.
