San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees preview
San Francisco Giants
The Giants have a much-improved lineup on last season’s roster which missed out on the playoffs by a late season collapse. In the off-season, the managed to pick up Michael Conforto and Mitch Haniger as well as re-signing Joc Pederson. Despite the heavy blow of losing Carlos Correa after concerns over his medical caused him to pull out of the deal, they have enough talent to make a run at the post season in 2023.
New York Yankees
The Yankees are stronger than ever and are looking forward to a competitive season. They managed to keep their talisman Aaron Judge in pinstripes, while also re-signing Anthony Rizzo and poaching starting pitcher Carlos Rodon from the Giants. There is genuine excitement over Anthony Volpe at short stop and the tentative vibe is that they feel that he could be a young Derek Jeter in the making.
San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees prediction
Both of these teams will want to get off on the right foot and make their case for a winning season. The Yankees are perennial powerhouses, but have been knocked out of the playoffs in three of the last five seasons by the Houston Astros.
