Tribe seeks division crown on MLB.TV

The Indians have a chance to clinch the American League Central tonight when they open a four-game series on the road against the Tigers, who are in contention for an AL Wild Card spot.

It’s the final week of the regular season, and the Wild Card races remain close in both leagues, so there is a lot on the line in today’s Major League schedule.

And the best place to watch all the drama unfold is on MLB.TV.
