OK Blue Jays? We shall see.

Toronto is prepped for some October baseball, hosting the New York Yankees Saturday afternoon in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.

The Rogers Centre will be rocking — and fans across the country will be watching (mostly on the edge of their seats).

Is this the magical year for Canada’s baseball team? Can the Jays beat Aaron Judge and the Yankees in a best-of-five? How deep will Toronto go this postseason?

Joining us on tonight’s Closer Look podcast is Matt Betts, a journalist at CambridgeToday and host of the Canadian Baseball Network podcast.

Hosted by Village Media’s Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.
