The 1995 American League Championship Series (ALCS) was the second round of the 1995 American League playoffs, which matched the Central Division champion Cleveland Indians against the West Division champion Seattle Mariners.
Both the Indians and the Mariners were victorious in the American League Division Series (ALDS), with the Indians defeating the East Division champion Boston Red Sox three games to none, and the Mariners defeating the Wild Card qualifier New York Yankees three games to two. As part of the first few years of the new playoff format with a Wild Card team and three divisions, the ALCS would have a predetermined team with home field advantage regardless of record, with 1995 being the year that the champion of the ALDS matchup between the West Division and their opponent would have home field advantage. As such, the Mariners had home field advantage despite having fewer wins than Cleveland.[1]
The Indians won the series in six games to become the American League champions for the first time since 1954. They subsequently lost to the National League champion Atlanta Braves in the 1995 World Series.
