MLB’s 2021 season is in full swing as each baseball club has played 40 games. With three quarters left of the regular season and teams welcoming fans back to their stadiums, the final 120 or so games hold plenty of excitement.
With a record of 26-16, the San Francisco Giants are currently a half-game ahead of the San Diego Padres for first place in the NL West. San Francisco hasn’t made the postseason in a few years, so they have the motivation (and the bats) to make a push to do so in 2021.
