The Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays kick off the 2025 American League Championship Series tonight with Game 1 at the Rogers Centre.
Seattle is seeking its first World Series berth, while Toronto looks to return to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993.
The Blue Jays won the 2025 regular-season series against the Mariners, taking four of six games across two meetings. The teams first clashed in April at Rogers Centre, where Seattle briefly held the upper hand by winning two of three behind strong showings from Cal Raleigh and Rowdy Tellez.
But when the series shifted to Seattle in May, Toronto responded with authority — sweeping all three games and outscoring the Mariners 21–7. George Springer’s three-run homer capped that dominant stretch, as the Blue Jays’ balanced lineup and deep rotation established an edge they’ll look to carry into the ALCS rematch.
Starting Lineups
Seattle Mariners
1. Randy Arozarena – LF
2. Cal Raleigh – C
3. Julio Rodríguez – CF
4. Jorge Polanco – 2B
5. Josh Naylor – 1B
6. Eugenio Suárez – 3B
7. Dominic Canzone – DH
8. Victor Robles – RF
9. J.P. Crawford – SS
Starting Pitcher: Bryce Miller (RHP)
Toronto Blue Jays
1. George Springer – DH
2. Nathan Lukes – RF
3. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – 1B
4. Addison Barger – 3B
5. Alejandro Kirk – C
6. Daulton Varsho – CF
7. Ernie Clement – 2B
8. Anthony Santander – LF
9. Andrés Giménez – SS
Starting Pitcher: Kevin Gausman (RHP)
Prediction
Miller is starting on short rest, which raises some risk. Gausman brings postseason experience and a dependable track record in Toronto. The Jays’ deeper lineup and familiarity at home give them a slight edge, especially early. Expect a competitive pitching duel, but Toronto likely grabs Game 1.
Prediction: Blue Jays 4, Mariners 2
