There has been a lot of anticipation for the 2026 MLB season, with a potential lockout, but also some interest in who will defeat the back-to-back World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. One team in their division, the San Francisco Giants, recently finished up a series against the New York Yankees, with the Yankees sweeping the series 3-0.
