Whatever plans you had to watch Bucs-Lions or Texans-Seahawks on Monday night? Scrap \u2019em. (Editor\u2019s note: Or follow them on another screen with our live coverage here on The Athletic!) We\u2019re in for one of the best nights of baseball in a long time. It\u2019ll be Blue Jays vs. Mariners at 8:08 p.m. ET (5:08 p.m. PT), for all the marbles.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays haven\u2019t won a pennant since 1993.<\/p>\n
The Mariners have never won one.<\/p>\n
Winner heads to the World Series to face the defending-champion Dodgers.<\/p>\n
Loser heads home.<\/p>\n
Neither team has announced a Game 7 starting pitcher. The last time the Mariners were facing elimination, they stuck all their Cy Young-caliber starters in the bullpen, and almost everyone pitched in a 15-inning marathon against the Tigers in the ALDS. These teams will be going all out to win Monday night. You won\u2019t want to miss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whatever plans you had to watch Bucs-Lions or Texans-Seahawks on Monday night? Scrap \u2019em.
