The American League Championship Series continues after a Toronto-dominant run in Seattle. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Blue Jays vs. Mariners, including live streaming options.
The Seattle Mariners are taking their long-awaited shot at a trip to the World Series in a tight ALCS battle against the Toronto Blue Jays. A Mariners victory would be a first in franchise history, as Seattle is the only MLB team to never make it to the World Series. They've battled hard throughout the playoffs, going all the way to a 15-inning winner-take-all Game 5 in their Division Series match-up against the Detroit Tigers and squashing the Blue Jays on their home field in the first two games of the ALCS.
However, the Toronto Blue Jays are a formidable force and were able to regain their standing in the next two games in Seattle, tying the best-of-seven series 2-2. The Canadian team was dominant in the regular season, leading the American League and quickly eliminating the Yankees (who made it to the World Series last year) 3-1 in the Division Series.
Whether Seattle can get back on top remains to be seen as the series returns to Toronto for Game 5. Whether you're rooting for the Mariners to make history or want to see the Blue Jays advance, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn how to tune into the next games, and make sure to check out ourhow to watch MLB Playoffsstreaming guide for info on catching the remainder of the postseason.

How to watch Mariners vs. Blue Jays from anywhere
Baseball fans can still access their usual streaming methods even while traveling abroad with the aid of a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are easy-to-use tech tools that allow people to change their device's virtual location, which means that their go-to websites and apps work just like they would back home. They're also instant ways to boost online security and privacy. Since the services we've recommended require US forms of payment, this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling overseas at the moment.
NordVPNis a great place to start for the VPN uninitiated. It's a top-rated service with a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can read more about the cybersecurity app in ourNordVPN review.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
