"The 94-win Blue Jays are a feared team around the league, and for good reason. They ran through the regular season behind the talents of the aforementioned Springer, who hit .309 this season with an OPS of .959, a bWAR of 4.8, and smashed 32 home runs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the slugging first baseman of the Blue Jays, hit .292 with 23 home runs and 84 RBIs."
"Toronto's pitching staff is headlined by 34-year-old right-hander Kevin Gausman (a former Dodgers draft pick) who totaled a 3.59 ERA this season across 193 innings of work. He struck out 189 batters and walked just 50 through 32 starts. Some of the other talented players on this deep Blue Jays roster include All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette, hitting .311 with 94 RBIs, and veteran Max Scherzer."
Toronto clinched the American League pennant by defeating Seattle in a winner-takes-all Game 7, highlighted by George Springer’s go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh for a 4-3 final. Seattle jumped to a 2-0 series lead before Toronto won two road games; Seattle took Game 5 and Toronto won Game 6 to force the decisive Game 7. The World Series begins Friday evening in Toronto against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Toronto finished the regular season with 94 wins and features offensive standouts George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and pitchers Kevin Gausman and Max Scherzer.
