Rivalries only really work when 2 teams are good or have history. A lot of teams in baseball never got a chance to create rivalries because of the league split. In basketball the Celtics and Lakers only play twice a year but at least they play and their histories play a big role. Half of MLB baseball teams have only been around since 1969 and up until this year did not play half if the teams on a regular basis. The Chiefs and Raiders in the NFL have history and a divisional enmity but no one cares lately because they've both been awful.
