"They made it in New York, so they can make it anywhere, right? Still, if you ask Toronto Blue Jays fans where they'd prefer, Detroit or Seattle, there appears to be a clear preference. The Jays will face the winner of Friday night's game between the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners in a seven-game series for the American League (AL) pennant and a trip to the World Series. Toronto will have home field advantage either way, with Game 1 starting 8:08 p.m. ET Sunday."
"The Jays, who had the AL's best record (94-68) and just hammered last year's league champions into an offseason existential crisis, will likely be the favourite no matter what team they play next. But fans online appear to be mostly pulling for the Detroit Tigers. Commenters on a Toronto Blue Jays subreddit have been overwhelmingly in favour of a Highway 401 series."
Toronto Blue Jays will face the winner of the Detroit Tigers–Seattle Mariners matchup in a seven-game American League Championship Series, with Game 1 set for 8:08 p.m. ET Sunday and Toronto retaining home-field advantage. The Tigers and Mariners finished with similar regular-season records and met the Blue Jays only a handful of times. One team overcame a historic divisional collapse and won a wild-card round, while the other surged in September to clinch a playoff spot. Online Blue Jays fans have generally preferred Detroit, citing perceived weaknesses, reliance on a single pitcher, second-half coldness, and proximity as reasons.
