ALCS 2015: Blue Jays vs. Royals Position-by-Position Breakdown, Predictions

The American League Championship Series (ALCS) field is officially set as the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals both came away victorious in their respective division series matchups.

The Blue Jays rallied after falling behind 2-0 in their series with the Texas Rangers, and capped things off by winning one of the strangest elimination games you'll ever see in front of a raucous home crowd in Toronto.

Meanwhile, the Royals traded wins with the upstart Houston Astros through the first four games of their series before coming away with a convincing 7-2 victory in Game 5 behind eight strong innings from Johnny Cueto.

The ALCS will begin Friday in Kansas City, with the first pitch of Game 1 scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.

Before that series gets underway, let's take a position-by-position look at how the two teams match up and make a quick prediction for who will come out on top.
