Giant’s Ready for Opening Day 2017
The San Francisco Giants are always a playoff contender – but can they be a title contender in 2017? Last season they made it to the playoffs, but bowed out early after being defeated by the soon-to-be world champions Chicago Cubs. And although many see 2017 as a rebuilding year of sorts for the Giants, with 2018 being the year they make a run for the pennant, you can’t count the club out completely.

Throughout the playoffs, they managed to topple the Kings, the Predators, and the Blues from their respective towers, and now it the Sharks standing alone as they prepare to go head to head against the Pittsburgh Penguins at the end of this month.
