The Rivalries You Can’t Miss

This weekend’s slate is packed with marquee matchups, each with its own rich history and fiery fan bases. In New York, the Subway Series returns with Juan Soto’s first trip back to the Bronx in a Mets uniform—a storyline that’s sure to ignite passions. Over in Los Angeles, the Freeway Series takes on new meaning as Ohtani faces his old team, setting up a WBC 2024 rematch between him and Mike Trout. And in Chicago, the Crosstown Classic divides the city as the White Sox and Cubs clash for Windy City supremacy. These games aren’t just about wins and losses—they’re about pride, legacy, and unforgettable moments.

The first pitch is coming. The benches are tense. Time to choose.
