Over the last four years, the Giants have gone 321-327.

The hope, then, is that starting tonight — when the Giants host the New York Yankees at 5:05 p. m. PT on Netflix — the Giants can put together a campaign that’s more than two games off of the center line for the first time since 2021 which, was also their last winning season.

To prepare you for tonight’s matchup, here are 26 predictions for the Giants 2026 season. They’re mostly (though not entirely) optimistic, because if you’re a Giants fan who doesn’t have optimism on March 25, when will you have it? And they’re mostly not incredibly bold, because … well … look … yes I’m optimistic, but I’m trying to also be realistic here.

And we’ll make them quick (editor’s note: no, apparently, we will not) , because it’s Opening Day, you’ve got things to do! 1. Willy Adames and Rafael Devers start the season hot There’s no denying that Willy Adames and Rafael Devers are two of the team’s best hitters.
