New York at San Francisco

The Yankees have World Series aspirations. The Giants were .500 last season. They have made the playoffs once since 2016. There is a clear class difference here between the two teams. The Yankees did little tinkering in the off-season. Basically, they have the same team as last season, when they went 94-68. San Francisco has many new faces, including manager Tony Vitello. He is the first skipper in MLB history to go straight from being a college head coach to an MLB manager. The pitching matchup is lefty Max Fried versus Logan Webb. Both finished fourth in the Cy Young Award voting in their respective leagues. The Giants were 17-28 against lefties last season. The Yankees have a deeper, more reliable back end in the bullpen. Aaron Judge is 3-for-9 with two home runs career-wise versus Webb. Take the Yankees.
