Season series: First meeting since 2019 when the Yankees swept 3 games in San Francisco.

San Francisco went 81-81 and placed 3rd in the NL West last season. The Giants were 14-7 with a plus-40 in run differential in April, but struggled after that. The Giants were somewhat undone by a 22-27 record in 1-run games.

New York was a bit record-unlucky in 2022, only parlaying a plus-1.48 in average run differential into a 99-63 record. The Yankees logged a pedestrian 42-39 mark on the road, but they tied the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best home record in MLB at 57-24.
