Yankees, Dodgers Establish Juggernaut Status by Acing MLB Opening Day

Though the occasion played out under unusual circumstances, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers still lived up to their billing on Opening Day of the 2020 Major League Baseball season.

That is, as heavy favorites to play in the World Series.

What happened on Thursday was nothing less than surreal. This was, after all, Opening Day on July 23. And for only a 60-game season, at that. With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, it was also the first real demonstration of what actual games will be like without fans in attendance.
