"The Toronto Blue Jays will enter the 2025 MLB Postseason with the best record in the American League after a 94 win season. They have home field advantage throughout the AL side of the bracket, something many experts didn't see coming. The Blue Jays were a team that won just 74 games a year ago and went from worst to first in the AL East, winning their first division title in 10 years."
"In 2025, Kevin Gausman showed why he was the ace of the Blue Jays with a 3.59 ERA in 193 innings pitched. That included 16 quality starts and 189 strikeouts which led the Blue Jays. Sending Gausman out to the mound for Game 1 would give the Blue Jays a high level of confidence that they can take the early lead in the series."
The Toronto Blue Jays finished the regular season with the best record in the American League at 94 wins and secured home-field advantage throughout the AL bracket. The team rebounded from 74 wins last year to win the AL East and capture its first division title in 10 years. Kevin Gausman posted a 3.59 ERA across 193 innings with 16 quality starts and 189 strikeouts, leading the club. Starting Gausman in Game 1 would aim to seize an early series lead, a critical advantage given home Game 1 winners in best-of-five series advance roughly 70% of the time. Gausman struggled in the final regular-season game on Sept. 28 but produced strong outings versus both the Yankees and Red Sox during key September matchups.
