The 2025 American League Championship Series is set for a winner-take-all Game 7 in Toronto on Monday between the Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners.
The Blue Jays bounced back to win Game 6 and force the decisive contest, two days after the Mariners seemed to have swung the pendulum of the series with a dramatic comeback in Game 5.
George Kirby starts for Seattle in Game 7 after the right-hander got shelled in his Game 3 start, giving up eight runs in four innings. Shane Bieber takes the mound for Toronto, the former Cy Young winner having picked up the win in Game 3.
Here’s how the USA TODAY Sports baseball staff sees things playing out:
