American League Championship Series Games Three, Four, Five, and Six

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Seattle Mariners

Heading back home to Seattle, the Mariners are just two wins away from reaching their first ever World Series. In their history, the Mariners have never been closer to glory than this moment, but that also means they’ve been stuck at this point before. Making their journey that much harder will be the fact that the Blue Jays are now desperate. Toronto cannot afford to drop these games, so they will need former Cy Young winners in Shane Bieber and Max Scherzer to rediscover their brilliance. They will need Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. to break out of his mini slump. And perhaps, they will need an unexpected hero to deliver in the biggest moments of his career.

Early in this series, the road teams have found ways to dominate. That script will flip as the series continues, forcing a pivotal, winner-take-all game seven in Toronto.
