Yankees and Blue Jays Set for ALDS Showdown

The stage is set for an exhilarating clash as the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays, two titans of the American League, prepare to square off in the American League Division Series (ALDS). Both teams finished the regular season with the best record in the AL, but Toronto secured the top spot by virtue of the tiebreaker. This distinction has transformed what could have been a battle for supremacy into a formidable matchup between the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds.

Path to the ALDS

The Yankees punched their ticket to the postseason by defeating the Boston Red Sox in decisive fashion during Game 3 of their series. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays earned a well-deserved bye, courtesy of their top seed in the playoffs. As fierce rivals from the AL East, the stakes are high as they prepare to meet in a best-of-five series, having faced each other 13 times throughout the season. The Blue Jays emerged victorious in the regular-season series, winning 8 of those matchups.

Star Players and Expectations

With both teams stacked with talent, the spotlight will be on key figures like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Aaron Judge. Guerrero is hoping to lead the Blue Jays back to the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2016. Conversely, Judge, along with his teammates, aims to continue the momentum from their postseason push, setting their sights on a return to the World Series.

ALDS Game Schedule

The highly anticipated series kicks off on Saturday, October 4, and will unfold as follows:

Game 1: Blue Jays 10, Yankees 1
Game 2: Blue Jays 13, Yankees 7
Game 3: Blue Jays at Yankees, 8:08 p.m. ET (FS1, Fubo)
