Four reasons San Francisco is dominating the postseason
Quote:
The San Francisco Giants took a major step toward winning their second Word Series title in three years after Saturday’s win gave them a 3-0 lead over the Detroit Tigers. Champagne could be flowing with another strong performance from Matt Cain tonight.
So, how have the Giants moved within one victory of winning the World Series? Now that the Tigers are down three games to none, let’s take a look at why the Giants will win this World Series, whether they win tonight or in seven.
Pitching. This postseason, the team has combined for a 2.89 ERA and is averaging 7.8 strikeouts per nine innings. If it wasn’t for pitchers Barry Zito and Ryan Vogelsong, the Giants would be at home, watching the Tigers and Cardinals in the World Series. Vogelsong has been lights out, and last night he delivered another gem. In four postseason outings, he has a 1.09 ERA and 21 strikeouts. Zito not only surprised the baseball world this season by earning 15 regular-season wins, but he surprised manager Bruce Bochy. Bochy decided to add Zito to the lineup, giving him his first postseason start in six years. With a 1.69 ERA, Zito has pitched 16 postseason innings, all meaningful. It’s well known the Tigers have one of the best starting rotations in the MLB, but their hitters have not been able to score.
