On October 17, 2022, in New York, New York, a tarp covers the infield during a rain delay before game five of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees.
Will Guardians and Yankees finally play ALDS Game 5 today?
Unfortunately, the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees has generated a lot of conversation about rain.
First, it compelled the postponement of Game 2 by a day, eliminating the planned rest day before Game 3 on Saturday.
Everyone had to wait one extra day for the series to end after Monday’s Game 5 at Yankee Stadium was canceled due to rain.
The good news is that Game 5 will be played today. First pitch in the Bronx at 4:07 p.m. might be a tad cool. ET, but there won’t be any additional pauses.
Tuesday's Weather Rating: 7/10
Sunshine makes a triumphant return! Chillier, with high temperatures only reaching the upper 50's and a consistent westerly breeze. Temperatures falling into the lower 40's tonight. All good for Yankees ALDS Game 5. The vibes are good!!

Whoever wins today must leave their celebration early because they have a Tuesday night ALCS Game 1 matchup against the Astros in Houston. The match is scheduled to start at 7:37 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
The Guardians’ current losing skid of 10 consecutive playoff elimination games is the longest in MLB history.
The Yankees have a record of 8-5 in games that could determine elimination since 2017. This includes their triumph in Game 4 on Sunday in Cleveland. Home teams are just 61-63 in postseason games with a winner-take-all format, though.
The Yankees are placed at -165 on the moneyline at the DraftKings Sportsbook. With +140 odds to win and advance, The Guardians are the underdogs.
