Yankees vs. Indians ALDS Game 5: Where To Watch In New York City

Here are some of the best places in New York City to watch the Yankees take on Cleveland in the American League Division Series.

NEW YORK, NY — The New York Yankees will take on the Cleveland Indians Wednesday night in a decisive game five of the American League Division Series. After two straight wins at home, the Yankees travel to Cleveland in an attempt to capture the team's first away win of the postseason and set up an American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.

If the Yankees win Wednesday night the team will advance to its first ALCS since a 2012 series against the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees will match up against Cleveland's ace — and front-runner for the American League Cy Young award — Corey Kluber. Starting for New York will be longtime Yankee C.C. Sabathia.

The pitching matchup is a repeat of game two in the series, in which Sabathia dominated and Kluber was uncharacteristically roughed up by the Yankee hitters. The Indians ended up winning the game after a five-run comeback and a few errors in the judgement of Yankees manager Joe Girardi.
