Things are just getting started, here.

After a pair of equally dramatic ALDS performances, the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City royals keep their postseason dreams alive and square off in the 2015 ALCS. It’s a match that seems to make a good amount of sense, after all, these were the best two teams in the AL. Who else should battle it out for a berth to the World Series on the line?

Marco Estrada gets the start on the mound for the visiting Blue Jays after many assumed that David Price would go in Game 1. On the flip side, Edinson Volquez will start for Kansas City and his history with the Blue Jays is a bit of a pre-game focus. After all, he did call Josh Donadlson “a little baby” earlier this year.

But now, it’s time to put all of that, collectively, behind us and play some postseason baseball. First pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. and will be broadcast nationally in the United States on FOX and on SNET in Canada. No TV? That’s cool. Here’s how to watch the game online and on mobile:
