  "account": "The Atlanta Braves (85-77) and Cleveland Guardians (84-78) are set to face off in Game 4 of the ALDS at Guaranteed Rate Field. The White Sox, who are one win away from advancing to the ALCS, lost Game 3 9-3 to the Guardians. Left-hander Hagen Smith will take the mound for the South Siders, having a 1.29 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 28 innings this season. In Game 1, Smith allowed a bases-clearing triple that gave Cleveland the lead. In Game 3, Smith surrendered a home run to Munetaka Murakami, which the Guardians scored on to take a 3-0 lead. The White Sox will look to bounce back with a strong performance from Smith. Starting pitcher Sean Burke and third baseman Miguel Vargas are also in the rotation. The game will be broadcast on TBS/HBO Max and TruTV, with radio coverage on WMVP 1000 AM. The first pitch is set for 7:00 p.m. CT.",
