The San Francisco Giants kick off their season on the road in southern California, taking on their rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the game’s best rivalries, this Giants and Dodgers series brings a ton of excitement for both teams, kicking off the 2018 regular season. While Madison Bumgarner is out, the Giants will still hope to take a couple games in this series, putting a dismal 2017 campaign in the rearview mirror. For the Dodgers, it’s the start of what they hope to be a march back to the Fall Classic.... 

The Cleveland Indians have claimed divisional supremacy over the last two seasons, winning 94 and 102 games in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Prior to the Tribe, the Kansas City Royals sat atop the division in 2015 and the Detroit Tigers held the divisional reigns for several years prior to that.... 

One year ago, the American League West was a tossup. The Texas Rangers won the division in 2016 with the Seattle Mariners in second. In 2017, the Houston Astros leap frogged both teams—as did the Los Angeles Angels.... 

The Boston Red Sox topped the New York Yankees in the American League East division last year in what was ultimately the closest division race in baseball. It was the first time these two storied rivals finished one and two in the division since 2009. ... 

As of August 25, 2017, the Los Angeles Dodgers were running away with the Nationals League West division and on pace to win a record number of games. Up by 21 games over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Dodgers were 91-36 and had lost back-to-back games just twice since the middle of May.... 

After a World Series win in 2016, the Chicago Cubs had a World Series hangover that lasted through the first half of the season. That allowed the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals to stay in the race for the National League Central division throughout the season. Still, the Cubbies eventually took hold of the division, winning 92 games and finishing six games ahead of the Brewers.... 

The Washington Nationals won the National League East division each of the last two seasons and four of the last six seasons. The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves each won the division in the other two years. Prior to Washington’s divisional dominance, it was the Philadelphia Phillies who owned the NL East. In the last seven seasons, four of the NL East’s five teams won the division; the only exception: the Miami Marlins.... 

The National League has won five of the last eight World Series, but while a different team has represented the NL in the Fall Classic the last three years, the previous five years, the NL has been represented by either the San Francisco Giants or the St. Louis Cardinals. Until the last couple years, the league was rather predictable. Going back further, there was a seven year stretch where the NL pennant winner was either the Giants, Cardinals or Philadelphia Phillies.... 

The American League is made up of a handful of ‘super teams’ with the division winners a seeming forgone conclusion even before Opening Day. Historically, we get a few surprises every year so it’s likely one—or more—of the divisional favorites will falter, but on paper, it’s hard to imagine.... 

Heading into 2018, we’re in a golden age for memorable World Series with back-to-back seven game series. Better yet, three of the last four series have gone the distance. We don’t always have such drama and excitement, but there’s no denying we’ve had some classics in recent seasons....

The Dodgers will take on the Chicago Cubs in a rematch of the 2016 NLCS. How will the layoff impact the Dodgers?

The Houston Astros clinched their ticket to the ALCS on Monday, but had to wait until late in the night on Wednesday to learn who they’d be playing and where Game 1 would take place. The other ALDS was a great one. The New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians went a full five games with Game 5 going down to the wire, but the Yankees came out victorious in a major series upset. They won’t have the same time off as the Astros going into the ALCS, but that could be a good thing. They’ll have momentum and should come out of the gate fast while the Astros may have to work off some rust.This series will begin on Friday, October 13, 2017 at 8 p.m. ET at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
