What Is at Stake
The division. Chicago and Cleveland are separated by half a game and now play three straight against each other in Cleveland, which means the Central could be settled or flipped by Wednesday night. Cleveland also holds the third AL wild card, one game up on Toronto, so the Guardians are effectively playing for two things at once: a division title and the safety net underneath it. Williams has been the most reliable arm in their rotation, which makes Monday the game Cleveland most expects to win.
How to Watch Without Cable
MLB.TV carries the game outside the Chicago and Cleveland territories. In market, Chicago Sports Network streams through its own app and the Guardians broadcast offers a direct streaming option; Fubo and DirecTV Stream carry the regionals locally.
