Seattle Mariners Form

Seattle passed up on the opportunity to clinch a spot in the World Series as they lost in Toronto last night.

The Mariners made a dream start to this showdown with the Blue Jays, reeling off 3-1 and 10-3 wins in Toronto to return home with a 2-game cushing.

They failed to take advantage of that though, as they surrendered their lead with 13-4 and 8-2 defeats, and then failed to back up a 6-2 road win in Game 5, losing 6-2 in Toronto yesterday.

Seattle booked their place in the playoffs by putting together a 90-72 record to finish top of the AL West, sealing a first-round bye.

The Mariners took on Detroit in the Division Series and had to rally from suffering a 3-2 home defeat in the series opener.

They responded with a 3-2 home win and an 8-4 road win, and then bounced back from a 9-3 defeat in Detroit with a series-sealing 3-2 victory at home.

Toronto Blue Jays Form

Toronto kept their World Series dream alive last night, winning Game 6 at home to set up this winner-takes-all encounter.

The Blue Jays dug themselves into a massive hole in the early stages of this series, losing 3-1 and 10-3 at home, but they rallied on the road in Seattle.

They beat the Mariners 13-4 and 8-2 at T-Mobile Park to level the series, and then rallied again as they responded to a 6-2 defeat with a 6-2 victory of their own.

Toronto reached the playoffs by compiling a 94-68 record to finish top of the AL East standings, winning the head to head with the New York Yankees.

The Blue Jays then left no doubt as to who the better team is, as they erupted offensively at home to beat New York 10-1 and 13-7 in the first two games of the Division series.

They missed out on the series sweep as they lost 9-6 in New York in Game 3, but they bounced back immediately to clinch with a 5-2 victory at Yankee Stadium.

Verdict

This is truly a pick 'em matchup, and we are leaning towards Toronto being victorious.

The Blue Jays have won three of the last four and they are on a solid run of form at home.
