NO FUN BY THE BAY: In 2013-17, the Cubs won the first game of five straight series at San Francisco. Last night’s opening loss was their sixth in their last seven visits. The only win was two years ago. After losing the opener, they won the second game in 2018 and 2022, and lost it in 2019, 2021 and last year. (Courtesy BCB’s JohnW53)

The Tigers’ first game of 2026 will be at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres on March 26. After three games in San Diego and three in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, the Tigers return home to play their first game at Comerica Park against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 3.

Despite those familiar issues striking the Niners once again, San Francisco is still a heavy favorite to bounce back from last season’s 6-11 finish and return to the postseason. Indeed, the 49ers are given odds of -196 to make the playoffs by FanDuel Sportsbook. Those odds put the 49ers’ chances of qualifying for the playoffs at 62.8%.
