Overview

  • Game 1 at Rogers Centre is set for 8:03 p.m. ET with Kevin Gausman facing Bryce Miller.
  • Bo Bichette, sidelined since a Sept. 6 knee sprain, was left off after showing discomfort in a Saturday baserunning test.
  • Seattle added All-Star Bryan Woo to its ALCS roster, though he remains under evaluation and will not start the opener.
  • The Mariners’ choice to start Miller on three days’ rest follows a 15-inning ALDS clincher that taxed multiple pitchers.
  • Toronto kept the same 13 position players that scored 34 runs in the ALDS, swapping in Scherzer and Bassitt for relievers Justin Bruihl and Tommy Nance.
