The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians are battling for the ALCS spot, and the fight may be delayed a little longer.
The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians battle it out for a date with the Houston Astros. The Yankees took a win in Game 1, and the Guardians took it in Game 2.
Monday’s fifth game will be the final test to determine who advances to the ALCS, and fans looking forward to watching may have to wait even longer due to the expected showers in the New York City metro area.
New York Metro Weather tweeted, “Quick update: No major changes in the thinking process regarding the forecast this evening. All model data continues to show a range of rain and storms moving across the New York City metro between 7-9pm. Game likely affected weather sometime tonight.”
There is no official update on how the weather will affect the game, so it is possible to start on time. However, it can also result in delays or cancellations, which would be less than ideal.
With so many underdogs going forward this season, Game 5 is bound to be one of the most stressful for Yankees fans.
The Yankees may be taken out of another underdog postseason
This postseason was mostly about underdogs. In the Wild Card Series, the Philadelphia Phillies surprised many by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Phillies then went on to beat the World Championship Champion, the Braves, in the NLDS. As if that wasn’t surprising enough, the San Diego Padres ousted the Los Angeles Dodgers, who had the best record in the league this season and one of the best in MLS history.
The Houston Astros stayed in center with a win over the Seattle Mariners, so they’re the only favorite team going up. The Guardians were not expected to defeat the Yankees, but now they are closer than ever.
