The clubs last duked it out for the pennant in 1985, when the Jays surrendered a 3-1 series lead and paved the way for the Royals' comeback.

And strangely, (creepily?), the 2015 ALCS bears striking similarities to its 30-year-old predecessor.

The parallels were meticulously noted by Matt Gross in a comments thread on blog Bluebird Banter.

Fluke or not, the outcomes of Game 6 and a potential Game 7 will tell.

What do you make of the parallels?
