Toronto earned the right to host the ALCS after taking out the Yankees in four games in the Division series. The Jays’ offense was ridiculous in the series scoring 34 runs in just those four games. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the catalyst against the Bronx Bombers hitting .529 (9-17) with three home runs and nine runs batted in the series.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has settled on a lineup for his team's biggest game of the season.

Skubal still finished with a signature October performance: 6 innings, two hits, one earned run, no walks and 13 strikeouts.
