  • What's On The Line In The LCS? The Mariners look to make the World Series for the first time in franchise history. The Blue Jays aim to reach the World Series for the first time since 1993. The Dodgers are searching for their 3rd World Series appearance this decade (2020, 2024). The Brewers attempt to qualify for the World Series for the first time since 1982.

The 2025 MLB League Division Series finished up last night with a 3-1 Brewers win over the Cubs in Game 5 of the National League Division Series (NLDS). And now, the brackets for the League Championship Series are set.

Jorge Polanco and the Seattle Mariners will play George Springer and the Toronto Blue Jays for the American League pennant. Shohei Ohtani and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers will play Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers for the American League pennant.

The 2025 American League Championship Series begins on Sunday, October 12, at 8:00 PM (ET) on Fox and FS1 as Julio RodrΓ­guez and the Seattle Mariners (No. 2 seed) battle Alejandro Kirk and the Toronto Blue Jays (No. 1 seed) in Game 1 of their best-of-seven set. The Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees in four games in the American League Division Series. Seattle outlasted Detroit in an iconic extra-inning affair in Game 5 of the ALDS (Mariners won 3-2 in 15 games thanks to Jorge Polanco's heroics). πŸŽ™ Joe Davis, the voice of the MLB on Fox, provides commentary for the Mariners vs. Blue Jays series alongside analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz, reporter Ken Rosenthal, and fellow reporter Tom Verducci.
