In the wake of the 15-inning marathon that was Game 5 of the ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers , the Mariners now only have one day off before starting the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays . It's a fresh matchup. The two teams have only faced each other once in the playoffs and that was the Wild Card Series in 2022, with the Mariners winning two games to none.

The Blue Jays haven't been to the ALCS since 2016 and haven't been to the World Series since 1993. The Mariners haven't been to this round since 2001 and have never won the AL pennant. They remain the only team of 30 in MLB to have never played in the World Series. They'll have their chance to advance here, but they have to deal with a hungry Blue Jays team.
