Can the San Francisco Giants maintain their edge over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West? The recent series against the D-backs showcased the SF Giants' resilience and potential for the season, but also their weaknesses.

Hosts Ben Kaspick and Millard Thomas dissect these developments, offering insights into the Giants' and Diamondbacks' strategies and the evolving dynamics of the NL West. They also explore the impact of long-term contracts and the surprising shifts in preseason expectations for teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
