After the New York Yankees were eliminated, I've had time to recover and now I'm locked in to root for whoever can beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Even if my team has been eliminated, I won't miss the action of the ALCS. It will air on TBS and you can tune into every game on Sling.
Now, obviously the Dodgers aren't in the ALCS. But, the winner advances to the World Series and will face the winner of the Dodgers vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. The Tampa Bay Rays are the clear AL favorite, with home-field advantage and coming off a sweep over the Yankees, but the Cleveland Guardians should not be underestimated.
Again, I'm rooting for whoever can beat the Dodgers, but whatever your reason for tuning into the ALCS, you watch every game on Sling, here's
