Free Tigers-Guardians live stream: How to watch Game 4 of the MLB playoffs, TV, schedule

The No. 6 Detroit Tigers will play the No. 2 Cleveland Guardians in Game 4 of their MLB playoff series today. The matchup begins at 5:00 p.m. CT on TNT. Fans can watch this game online for free using DirecTV Stream’s free trial. Alternatively, Sling offers new users a first month discount.

The Tigers enter this matchup with a 2-1 lead and are therefore just one win away from reaching the next round of the postseason.

After losing Game 1, Detroit won two games in a row. Of note, the Tigers have outscored Cleveland 6-0 in their last two games. In their most recent win, the Tigers used six different pitchers. Brant Hurter and Beau Brieske combined to pitch more than five innings and allowed just five total hits. If the Detroit bullpen continues to dominate today, the Guardians will struggle offensively.

Cleveland scored seven runs in the series opener, but the team’s offense has been underperforming of late. Cleveland’s star third baseman Jose Ramirez has a .111 postseason batting average and has not recorded a hit in the last two games. Ramirez led the team in home runs and RBI during the regular season, so he needs to improve his performance today.
