Yankees-Red Sox has a higher ceiling, but there's more random vitriol between the Dodgers and Giants. Their fans legitimately hate each other, Yankees fans and Red Sox fans are just annoyed by each other.
POOP
Dodgers-Giants has always been the better rivalry historically.

Sabermetric Myths
FIP=better pitcher
WAR is fact
Pythagorean records and win expectancy have value
Strikeouts are overrated
Best regular season record = best team
Regular season > Post season
The difference between me and you is I don't need the internet to discuss baseball intelligently.
Giants vs. Dodgers
totally crazy environment.

First Round Draft Pick
Also, historically the Dodger and Giants are close performance wise, while the Yankees have been much better than the Red Sox. It's difficult for rivalry to be taken seriously when one team is dominate.

Well Yankees and Giants are both clearly better than their supposed rivals, so neither.

When both Boston and NY are competitive (Boston wasn't last year) then it's a lot more fun.
First Round Draft Pick
I dunno. I know some BRS fans that toast every time they get together near or on the day Munson went down in the plane... more out of general hate of the Yanks, then actual happiness over Munson it must be noted.
Basically you need both of those teams to compete to have it be any good. Like '03-'10. It'll be a few years before we see that again.
Funny that the NY rivalry would make it with a 400 mile drive, and the gentle weather and spirits out West, but sure enough they bring it.
Cubs/Cards would be really good if Theo can restore the Cubs to the ranks of the worthy.
I am not a con artist! I am a businessman! I have a big brain and I'm good at making deals! People are just jealous of my BIG BRAIN! BAD!
Guess who? The future X-Presdent...
Cubs vs Cards anyone?

There is not great rivalry in baseball right now.. Dodgers arent on the same level as Giants. And Red Sox have returned to also ran team.. Not that the Yanks have been unstoppable last few seasons..
Dodgers are gonna win the World Championship of Insane payroll soon if they havent already clinched it..
Redsox-Yankees.............and as for the the San Fran- L.A parking lot episode, maybe not of that magnitude, but I have seen some blood baths at Bos-NY games! Not taking anything at all away from the Giant-Dodgers rivalry, but its gotta be the Sox and Yanks!
Yanks/Red Sox 5 years ago
L.A/SF the passed 2 years.
With LA becoming the Big Time team in the West it makes for a Better rivalry now.
