The 2025 MLB season is officially underway, and with it comes the excitement of new players making their mark and the familiar faces continuing to shine. Will Smith's impressive performance, reaching base four times and driving in a run, has already set the tone for the Dodgers as they take on the Cubs. But what does this mean for the Dodgers' chances this season? Are they poised to dominate again, or could we see a surprise contender rise up?

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's debut, allowing just one run over five innings, raises the question: how will the new wave of international talent impact the league this year? With players like Yamamoto and Shota Imanaga stepping onto the scene, are we witnessing a shift in the balance of power in MLB?

And let's not forget about the Cubs. Despite their loss, Miguel Amaya's first run of the season and Imanaga's strong performance show that they might not be down for long. What are your predictions for the Cubs this season? Can they bounce back and challenge for a playoff spot, or are they in for a long year?

As we dive into this new season, what bold predictions do you have? Who do you think will emerge as the breakout star of 2025? Let's hear your thoughts on the early performances and what they might mean for the rest of the season!
