After a long and uncertain offseason, the SF Giants regular season has finally gotten underway. Returning from a disappointing conclusion to the 2020 season, when the Giants finished a tie-breaker away from reaching the postseason, the franchise hopes to crack the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Of course, in the same division as the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, the team faces an uphill battle to contention.
