The 2025 American League Championship Series is set for a winner-take-all Game 7 in Toronto on Monday between the Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners.

The Blue Jays bounced back to win Game 6 and force the decisive contest, two days after the Mariners seemed to have swung the pendulum of the series with a dramatic comeback in Game 5.

George Kirby starts for Seattle in Game 7 after the right-hander got shelled in his Game 3 start, giving up eight runs in four innings. Shane Bieber takes the mound for Toronto, the former Cy Young winner having picked up the win in Game 3.
