SF Giants: Why they will be contenders this season

Obviously, this is not the start anyone in the SF Giants’ organization had hoped for, but people need to realize that the Giants have only played 29 games and still have 133 games left, and people need to realize that the National League is extraordinarily weak this season.

In 2014 and 2016, the Giants made the playoffs, because of the futility of the National League. In 2014, the closest team to knocking the Giants out of the playoffs was the Milwaukee Brewers, and they went 82-80. Last season, the Giants edged the St. Louis Cardinals, out by a game to get into the postseason.
