Teams

GET https://baseball.highlightly.net/teams MLB & NCAA API

GET https://sports.highlightly.net/baseball/teams All Sports API

Retrieve the teams supported by the API.

Coverage: MLB and NCAA Division I
Pagination: Not paginated

Four filters narrow the list, and any of them works on its own.

Parameter	Use it for
`league`	The league a team plays in, such as `MLB` or `NCAA`.
`abbreviation`	The short code you already show in a scoreboard, such as `TEX`.
`displayName`	The name as it is usually written out, such as Texas Rangers.
`name`	Checking whether a specific team is supported.

Ids and abbreviations

Matches and highlights also accept homeTeamAbbreviation and awayTeamAbbreviation, so those two can be filtered by a team's abbreviation without resolving its id first.

Ids are what head to head, last five games and team statistics expect, so resolve once here and store them.
