The Toronto Blue Jays staved off elimination with a 5-1 Game 4 victory last night, but if they want to play more baseball, they’re going to have to do it again this afternoon. Right-hander Marco Estrada takes the mound for Toronto, while Cleveland counters with left-handed rookie Ryan Merritt. Will the Indians clinch the AL pennant or will the Blue Jays force a Game 6? We’ll find out later this afternoon!

WHAT TIME DOES THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS VS. CLEVELAND INDIANS GAME BEGIN?

First pitch for the Indians and Blue Jays game is scheduled to take place at 4:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE CLEVELAND INDIANS VS. TORONTO BLUE JAYS GAME?

The Blue Jays/Indians game will be available to watch on TBS, which means it’s also being livestreamed on TBS.com and the Watch TBS app. Unfortunately, you’ll need to authenticate with a cable provider if you want to watch the game on TBS.com or the Watch TBS app, so get your (or your friend’s/parent’s!) login credentials ready!

Cordcutters can watch via Sling TV, whose Orange and Blue packages carry TBS (more on Sling below).

Another option is MLB.TV’s Postseason Package, where you can watch every World Series game and select Postseason games live for $9.99. While every Blue Jays/Indians game is available, eligible subscribers must authenticate though a (you guessed it) Participating Pay TV Provider.

And let’s not forget about PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to TBS.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Orange package, which includes access to ESPN, ESPN 2, Comedy Central, and TBS, normally costs $20 a month, but the company is currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
