The stage is set for Game 1 and the ALCS will be live from Cleveland on Friday night.
The Indians and Blue Jays both come in off sweeps and will look to gain the upper leg with their aces on the mound.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays had an extremely tough road to get to where they are, but have overcame every obstacle thrown their way.
Toronto needed to win 2 of 3 in Boston on the final weekend to secure the top spot. They then needed a walk off home run against Baltimore, followed by a sweep against the top seeded Rangers.
The task has been tall for the Blue Jays, but they continue to prove their lineup deep and their pitching rotation is lockdown.

Marco Estrada will get the ball here on Friday night, as he looks to build off the gem he threw against Texas in Game 1.
Estrada went 8.1 innings of work while allowing just 1 run while striking out 6. The lone run came in that 9th inning before he was pulled.
Estrada earned a no decision in his lone start against Cleveland this season, going 5.0 innings allowing 5 hits and 3 runs.
Cleveland Indians
The Indians task was even taller than the Blue Jays. Their road endured multiple injuries to top players.
Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar were two of the latest injuries in the adventure, but one thing this team has endured has been the “next man up” method.
Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin have both stepped up in light of the injuries, along with what is arguably the best bullpen in the major leagues.
If Cleveland can turn the game over to Dan Otero, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw, and Cody Allen, things will likely go in favor of the Indians.

For Game 1, Corey Kluber will get the ball.
Kluber was shut down in his lone start in the ALDS against Boston, tossing 7.0 scoreless.
The Indians ace has started twice against the Jays this year, throwing 6.2 strong innings, but also getting rocked in 3.1.
This will be a key start for Kluber as the Indians need him to step up and set the tone for the series, while helping save what is likely going to be a heavily used bullpen all series long.
