While the Yankees have spent the last few days fighting to keep their season alive against the Red Sox, Toronto has been resetting for the playoffs after missing out last year.
While the Jays enter the bracket as the top seed in the American League, the postseason hasn't been kind to them lately. Toronto has lost seven consecutive playoff games dating back to its last win, Game 4 of the 2016 ALCS against Cleveland.
After being swept in best-of-three Wild Card series three times in four years, the Jays are hungry for any kind of October success, and this team seems built to provide it.
Here's everything you need to know to watch all the ALDS action between the Jays and Yankees.
