All MLB Teams Unbeaten After Opening Weekend

The 2026 MLB Season Begins with a Strong Start

The first weekend of the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) season has come to an end, and it’s already clear that this new era of the sport is shaping up to be exciting. With the introduction of the ABS system, which has been widely praised by fans and players alike, the game has taken on a fresh dynamic. However, the umpires have found themselves in a tough spot as they adjust to the changes.

The two teams that delivered one of the most memorable World Series in history are still proving their dominance. Alongside the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, three other teams have managed to go undefeated through their opening series, setting the stage for what could be an intense race for the championship.

Teams Still Undefeated

Here are the teams that have remained perfect heading into the first full week of the 2026 MLB season:

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers made a dramatic return to the field in Los Angeles, aiming for their third consecutive title. They started off strong, sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks in all three games of their opening series. While the Diamondbacks took an early lead in each game, the heroics of Will Smith and Mookie Betts kept the Dodgers’ perfect record intact. Edwin Díaz also played a crucial role, closing out the games with his usual efficiency.

Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays, who reached the World Series with their powerful offense, showed that their pitching and defense are just as formidable. The Athletics put up a strong fight, but the debut of Dylan Cease and timely hitting proved to be the difference. Kazuma Okamoto quickly became a fan favorite after hitting his first career MLB home run on Sunday.

New York Yankees

The Yankees kicked off their 2026 season with a commanding performance against the San Francisco Giants. Their opening day was broadcasted on Netflix, featuring some unique elements like characters from the streaming service being placed in the audience. Despite these quirks, the Yankees dominated the series, allowing only one run across three games.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers began their 2026 campaign with a strong showing at home against the Chicago White Sox. As the best team in baseball last year during the regular season, the Brewers are looking to make a playoff push and exact revenge on the Dodgers. Christian Yelich’s impressive performance against the White Sox suggests he could be a dark-horse candidate for the National League MVP.

Miami Marlins

Even though they faced the Colorado Rockies, the Miami Marlins showed signs of improvement this season. Fans in South Beach celebrated after Owen Caissie hit a home run to complete the sweep. For a team that has struggled for years, there is now a sense of optimism about their future. The Marlins may even be the last team standing without a loss if they continue their strong start.

Other Notable Developments

While the focus has been on the undefeated teams, several other stories have emerged throughout the weekend. The Los Angeles Dodgers have faced criticism over the demotion of Kim Hye-seong, while Munetaka Murakami has drawn comparisons to Shohei Ohtani, highlighting his potential as a star player. Additionally, there were some tense moments involving Edwin Díaz, as his performance drew backlash from fans.

As the 2026 season continues, fans will be watching closely to see how these teams perform in the coming weeks. With so much talent and potential on display, the competition promises to be fierce and exciting.
