The teams split the first two games in Chicago, each winning on their home field, before the series shifted to Cleveland for Games 3 and 4.
Per ESPN's coverage of the divisional round, the schedule, lines and odds to win are set for the decisive Game 4 matchup.
The Guardians held home-field advantage for the series, having won more regular-season games than the White Sox.
Both clubs finished within one game of each other in the AL Central standings, setting up a tightly contested series.
