3B Josh Donaldson
RF Jose Bautista

Normally the Blue Jays use Justin Smoak at first base against right-handers, but Chris Colabello is getting the start there in Game 1 after a strong ALDS performance. Marco Estrada’s personal catcher Dioner Navarro is behind the plate instead of Russell Martin.

2B Ben Zobrist
CF Lorenzo Cain

Like last postseason, Royals manager Ned Yost has decided on a playoff lineup and is sticking with it every game.
