The Mets continue to wait for the American League pennant to be decided, as the Royals lead the Blue Jays 3-2 in the ALCS with Game 6 slated for 8:07 p.m. Friday.
The Blue Jays, who acquired Troy Tulowitzki and David Price at the trade deadline, slugged their way to the AL East title, averaging 5.7 runs per game after the All-Star break. They boast a triple threat in the middle of their lineup of Josh Donaldson, Joey Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion, each of whom hit at least 39 home runs and 111 RBIs this season.
The Jays also recorded a 3.33 ERA in the second half of the season, good for second-best in the majors in that time.
Kansas City, meanwhile, made it to the World Series last year, losing in seven games to the Giants. The Royals left the game-tying run stranded on third base with Giants ace Madison Bumgarner on the mound for Game 7.
The Royals bullpen has the second-best ERA in the regular season and their offense had the second-most hits and fifth-most stolen bases this season.
