The San Francisco Giants are redefining what it means to be an average sports franchise, as the National League West ball club has a perfect .500 record over its last 10, 150, 200, 222, 444, and 500 Games.
The San Francisco Giants record this season? As of this writing, on September 16, is 75-75, which puts them two games out of the final National League Wild Card slot, which is currently occupied by the New York Mets, who have been teetering on the edge of oblivion since June after starting the season with the best record in baseball.
500 games, by the way, is enough data to cover just over three seasons of MLB play. Perhaps the strangest aspect of the Giants’ recent mediocrity is that they’re coming off a decade in which they were arguably baseball’s best franchise, as they won the World Series in 2010, 2012, and 2014.

Heading into the final couple of weeks of the 2025 MLB regular season, the Giants are about +700 to qualify for the National League wild card, which is a 12.5% implied probability.
The Giants are currently in the midst of a three-game series with their NL West rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and will then close out their 2025 campaign with series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Colorado Rockies.
The storied MLB franchise is being led this season by shortstop Willy Adames, who leads the team in games, runs, hits (126), RBIs (82) and home runs (28).
