The Giants begin their NL West title defense TODAY. Logan Webb will take the mound for the San Francisco Giants in a rare Opening Day in San Francisco, as the Giants look to build off their shocking and remarkable 107-win season in 2021. The Giants' lineup is missing key contributors from last year like Buster Posey and Kris Bryant, but they're a deep and flexible group that should continue to be a problem for opposing pitchers.
Webb leads a staff that figures to be among the best in baseball. New to the Giants are Carlos Rodón and Alex Cobb, who join returnees Alex Wood and Anthony DeSclafani. Joc Pederson, the former Dodgers, joins the lineup and should add thump against right-handed pitchers, whom the Giants figure to see a lot of over the first month of the season.
What will the Giants' record be in 2022? The prediction here is 91-71, which ought to be good enough to make one of the six up-for-grabs playoff spots in the National League. World Series prediction (homer alert): SF Giants over Chicago White Sox.
