The Detroit Tigers will take on the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night in the deciding game of their AL Division Series. Things are 2-2 coming into this Game 5, and whoever wins tonight will progress in the postseason and move a step closer to the World Series. However, for the losers it will be home time.

The game will start at 8.07 p.m. ET and can be watched on the TBS network. Fans can also watch the game online through live stream – free for subscribers to MLB.tv – via the link provided below.

Tonight will see Justin Verlander take to the mound again to face Sonny Gray in a repeat of Game 2. If things are as tight between the pitchers as that night then it will be a very tense affair tonight.

Verlander didn't allow any runs through his seven innings on Game 2, and Gray also went eight innings without allowing any runs on the scoreboard. They produced pitching of the top quality, and both will want to repeat that fantastic form in the hope of helping their teams progress to the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox.
