Though the Yankees got the job done in four, the other ALCS going on right now has reached a winner-take-all Game 5 between the Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers.
On Thursday, the Guardians staved off elimination with a 5-4 win over the Tigers, but today, the Tigers are bringing in their ace Tarik Skubal to start the game. Skubal hasn't allowed a run in any of his postseason starts.

Whichever team wins today's game will travel to New York for Game 1 of the ALCS against the Yankees, and the Guardians forcing a Game 5 has likely worked in the Bronx Bombers' favor; the Tigers starting Skubal today means he won't be available until Game 3 should the Tigers win today.
