The stage is set for the ALCS.

In Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Friday night, the Mariners staved off elimination with a walk-off win. The epic 15-inning marathon -- the longest winner-take-all game in postseason history -- vaulted Seattle into the League Championship Series, where the Blue Jays await. Toronto will host Game 1 of the ALCS on Sunday (8:03 p.m. ET on FOX).

The stakes are high, especially for two franchises starved for a World Series berth. The Blue Jays have not made the Fall Classic since 1993, when they won their second of back-to-back championships. On the other hand, the Mariners have never even won the pennant.

We asked a number of MLB.com experts to make their predictions on how the ALCS will unfold. Check out their picks for the series below.
