The Guardians rallied late Thursday to defeat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 in Game 4 of the American League Division Series, forcing a decisive Game 5 on Saturday night in Cleveland.

The winner will face the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series starting Monday. The loser heads into the offseason wondering, “What if?”

Game 5 is scheduled for first pitch at 1:08 PM at Progressive Field. Can the Guardians find a way to overcome presumptive AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubel, who was perfect for the first 4⅓ innings in the Tigers’ 3-0 win in Game 2? Can David Fry reproduce some of the magic he produced in Game 4 to ensure the Guardians win?

This is what we think will happen:

Guardians-Tigers ALDS Game 5 predictions

Lewis: I can’t believe I’m picking Tarik Skubal, but the days off around Game 5 are crucial for the Guardians. An all-hands-on-deck situation suits the Guardians perfectly. Matthew Boyd gets the ball, but the bullpen can be in position at the first sign of trouble. Skubal is truly special, but the Guardians have shown a rare level of resilience. I’m taking the Guardians to win again with their backs against the wall and advance to the ALCS in a first team to score type game. Guards 1, Tigers 0.
