Poll: Best MLB Interleague Rivalry

[Editor's note: Welcome to Athlon Sports' poll of the day, where we ask readers to weigh in on the biggest topic of the day. Thanks for voting, and be sure to sound off in the comment section.]

It's "Rivalry Weekend" in Major League Baseball, and the schedule features as many interleague series between in-state rivals as they can get. For instance, Los Angeles Dodgers at Los Angeles Angels. Of course, the Dodgers have much nastier rivalries against two NL West foes, the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. The Giants are playing the Athletics this weekend, though that rivalry has faded a bit now that the A's are no longer in the Bay Area.

Fans of the New York Yankees and New York Mets don't exactly see eye to eye much. Same can be said for the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox. Which begs the question…

Thanks for voting. Be sure to make your voice heard and sound off in the comments section.
