In Game 3, Blue Jays have a chance to sweep Yankees, clinch American League Division Series

The Toronto Blue Jays are on the verge of their first playoff series victory in nearly a decade, with their first chance to advance to the next round coming Tuesday evening in the Bronx after dominating their two home games against the New York Yankees. 

Game 3 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) is set to start just after 8 p.m. ET.

Jeffrey Mizen, an Ontario-born Jays fan who lives in New York state, will be heading to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, hoping to see something special unfold.

"I know they're gonna win," he told The Canadian Press. "They're playing fantastic."

On this side of the border, Toronto superfan Lesley Mak is also feeling "really good" about the team's potential to go deeper into the playoffs.

If Game 5 is necessary, that will take place in Toronto on Friday.

Saturday's Game 1 saw Toronto beat New York 10-1, with a home run from Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — his first since early September — and catcher Alejandro Kirk blasting two
