Watch the Cleveland Guardians Playoffs at Vincent William Wine: New Fall Menu, Lakeside Views, and Cozy Fireplaces

The Cleveland Guardians have made an exciting return to the playoffs as the No. 2 seed after winning the AL Central with a 92-69 record. With their eyes set on the World Series, this team is poised for an unforgettable run, and there's no better place to experience the action than Vincent William Wine. Situated along the shores of Lake Erie, we offer the ideal setting to enjoy the games with our new fall menu, breathtaking lakeside views, and the warmth of cozy fireplaces.

Cleveland Guardians Playoff Schedule:

  • Game 1: Saturday, October 5 | TBD

  • Game 2: Monday, October 7 | TBD

  • Game 3: Wednesday, October 9 | TBD

  • Game 4: Thursday, October 10 | TBD

  • Game 5: Saturday, October 12 | TBD

With a 51.3% chance of advancing to face either the Tigers or the Astros in the ALDS, the Guardians have their work cut out for them. But with a dominant bullpen and key offensive players, they are well-positioned for a deep playoff run.

What to Expect from the Guardians

One of Cleveland’s biggest strengths is their elite bullpen, which finished the season with the best bullpen ERA in baseball. Emmanuel Clase, arguably the most dominant closer in the league, ended the season with 47 saves and an astounding 0.61 ERA, making him a prime contender for World Series MVP if the Guardians go all the way​. Add in pitchers like Cade Smith, Hunter Gaddis, and Tim Herrin, and Cleveland has a powerful bridge to the ninth inning, allowing them to lock down games with precision.

However, Cleveland’s starting rotation remains a question mark. Injuries to Shane Bieber and the struggles of Triston McKenzie have left Tanner Bibee (3.47 ERA) as the ace of a rotation that ranked just 23rd in ERA​. The Guardians will need their bullpen to carry them through the postseason, but if they can patch together their starting pitching, this team could be dangerous.

The Guardians haven’t won a World Series since 1948, the longest active title drought in Major League Baseball. That’s 76 years of heartbreak for Cleveland fans, making a potential victory this year all the more special. Led by José Ramírez, who continues to be one of the most electrifying players in the game, and rising stars like Josh Naylor and Steven Kwan, this team has the athleticism and power to take down some of the league’s biggest superstars​.
