Dodgers-Brewers & Rays-Guardians Game Times For Thursday Changed

Want to watch the back-to-back World Series Champion Dodgers fight for their lives tomorrow? You’ll have to tune in a little bit earlier than expected.

The threat of rain in Cleveland has led Major League Baseball to move Game 3 of the American League Championship Series between the Rays and Guardians tomorrow ahead to 1 p.m. ET from the previously-scheduled 6 p.m. ET start time. The series is tied 1-1.</p><strong>More from Deadline</strong><p>
That change has allowed the league to shift Thursday's Game 4 of the NLCS between the Brewers and Dodgers further into primetime for East Coasters. It has been moved from 9 p.m. ET to 8 p.m. ET. (For Angelenos not good with time zone calculations, this means Game 4 of the Dodgers-Braves in Los Angeles will now air tomorrow at 5 p.m. PT.)


That Game 4 is a potential do-or-die for L.A.'s season. With the Brewers up 2-0, if Milwaukee wins tonight, the Dodgers will face elimination tomorrow. On the positive side for L.A., Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said slumping superstar Shohei Ohtani, who will be batting sixth on Wednesday, has indicated he is "close to finding something" in batting practice that will help him end his post-season struggles.
