Edmonton Oilers as... the New York Yankees.

The Edmonton Oilers boast two of the biggest NHL superstars in Connor McDavid (32 goals, 132 points last season) and Leon Draisaitl (41 goals, 65 assists in 2023-24). The New York Yankees have Aaron Judge (.319 BA, 51 home runs, 126 RBIs this season) and Juan Soto (.289 BA, 39 home runs, 101 RBIs in 2024). Both teams have the best players in their respective leagues and their "Robin's". But can they win a championship?

Vegas Golden Knights as... Houston Astros

Let's be honest. Not many people like the Golden Knights or Astros. They've been associated with cheating (although Houston's actually done this by stealing signs) and are consistently successful. But they're still there, playing under the radar and surprising people when they win. But the Vegas Golden Knights have a cleaner image, where neither Jack Eichel nor Mark Stone are banging trash cans behind the bench.

Vancouver Canucks as... the Philadelphia Philles

Both the Vancouver Canucks and Philadelphia Phillies have high-octane offenses that score countless points. They also have popular superstars at each team's forefront. Vancouver has Quinn Hughes (17 goals, 92 points last season), while Philadelphia has Las Vegas native Bryce Harper (.289 BA, 26 home runs, 79 RBIs). They also have divisional rivals that'll battle for respective supremacy, whether it's the Edmonton Oilers in the Pacific Division or the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.
