Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went for some Toronto synergy in his choice of outfit to Game 7.
The Blue Jays’ $500 million superstar strolled into Rogers Centre wearing a Maple Leafs jersey, an Auston Matthews No. 34.
But, well, that might not be the best omen.
You see, this is a Game 7, the ALCS on the line, a spot in the World Series waiting for either the Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners.
And Matthews has never won a Game 7.

Blue Jays fans better hope so.
