The series shifted to Rate Field for Game 3 on Wednesday, October 7, with Chicago needing just one more win to punch its ticket to the ALCS.\n\nA win for the White Sox would also carry some historical weight, marking the franchise's first playoff series home win in 120 years.\n\nThe Guardians, meanwhile, are left trying to extend their season with their backs against the wall. Cleveland has to win out just to force a Game 5, starting with Game 3 in Chicago.\n\nShould the series continue, Game 4 is set for Thursday, October 8, at 8 p.m. ET, airing on TBS and HBO Max.","published_at":"2026-10-08T19:17:55.251375+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to watch Guardians vs White Sox: Game 3, MLB Playoffs, live stream, TV channel","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-guardians-vs-white-sox-190000431.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Guardians vs. White Sox prediction, odds, time: 2026 MLB ALDS Game 4 picks for Thursday, Oct. 8, by model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/guardians-white-sox-prediction-odds-time-2026-mlb-alds-game-4-picks/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"How to watch Guardians vs. White Sox: ALDS Game 4 TV channel and streaming options for October 8","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7672168/2026/10/08/guardians-vs-white-sox-stream-how-to-watch-oct-8/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Where to watch Guardians-White Sox ALDS Game 3 for free: Time, livestream","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/07/sports/heres-how-to-watch-guardians-vs-white-sox-alds-game-3-for-free/"},{"outlet":"MLB.com","publisher":"MLB.com","title":"Guardians-White Sox ALDS Game 4 FAQ (8 p.m. ET, TBS/HBO Max)","url":"https://www.mlb.com/news/guardians-vs-white-sox-alds-game-4-starting-lineups-and-pitching-matchup"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians vs. White Sox live updates, lineups, where to watch: Sean Newcomb, Daniel Espino take the mound in Game 3","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/live/white-sox-guardians-box-score-live-updates-lineups-starting-pitchers-highlights-stats-where-to-watch-game-3-alds-190121675.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ALDS Wednesday open thread","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/alds-wednesday-open-thread-215009253.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ALDS Game 3: Chicago White Sox lose for 1st time this postseason, fall 9-3 to the Cleveland Guardians","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/alds-game-3-chicago-white-232700576.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Guardians vs. White Sox live updates: MLB playoffs ALDS Game 4 start time, predictions and latest","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/guardians-vs-white-sox-live-updates-mlb-playoffs-game-4-score-result/LRdsMKqYJZY9/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Guardians live score, lineups vs White Sox.
