In the night game, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians will play Game 4 at Progressive Field. The Yankees are up 2-1 in that series. It gets underway at 8:08 p.m. ET. Now let's have a look at one pivotal question for each of these four teams heading into Friday's action.

In the opener, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a 3-1 NLCS lead and can punch their ticket to the Fall Classic with a victory over the New York Mets. In the later game, if the Cleveland Guardians can follow up their instant classic victory over the New York Yankees last night with another win tonight, they'd tie the ALCS at two.

The Dodgers go for a spot in the World Series in Game 5 of the NLCS on Friday while Cleveland looks to even up the ALCS in Game 4.
