    It all comes down to this.

    The Detroit Tigers will take on the Cleveland Guardians in the fifth and final game of the ALDS on Saturday at Progressive Field.

    The stakes are simple: a win will see the Tigers advance to the ALCS to play the New York Yankees for the American League pennant, while a loss will end the Tigers’ 2024 streak.

    The Tigers had a chance to close the series on home court in Game 4, but lost the hard-fought game 5-4 to reach maximum distance. It was a back-and-forth battle at Comerica Park and the Guardians came out on top with another clutch hit, a two-run pinch-hit home run from David Fry, to keep their season alive.

    Get ready: Detroit Tigers ready for pressure of decisive ALDS Game 5: ‘Great opportunity to be great’

    The Tigers have star pitcher Tarik Skubal ready to throw the deciding game. Skubal is 2-0 in the postseason without giving up a run over 13 innings, including seven innings of shutout ball against the Guardians in Game 2 to spark a late rally.

    On the other hand, the Guardians also go back to their Game 2, former Tiger Matthew Boyd. Boyd pitched 4⅔ innings and gave up no runs on four hits before giving way to a plethora of arms out of the bullpen. Game 2 hero Kerry Carpenter is a game-time decision for Saturday with a hamstring injury suffered in Game 4.

    The match was originally scheduled for primetime, but was moved to 1 p.m. due to weather conditions. Here’s all the information you need to know ahead of Game 5 of the ALDS, including the updated time, TV channel and live stream, plus the TV announcers in the booth.
