The Tigers are setting themselves apart from the rest of the playoff field right now. Their pitching has been dominating and their hitting coming through at just the right times, not to mention they are catching all the breaks like the best teams usually do. Max Scherzer will be on the bump today against the Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia in what I believe will be a good game to watch and to be a part of. If Scherzer can pitch a good game, not even a great game, but a good game I think will get them the W and into the World Series. The Yankees really need to get it together if they are even going to have a chance of winning this series, but needing to win 4 games in a row, and facing Verlander for one of those games, they know they need to be virtually perfect to pull this one out.
The Giants have disappointed me thus far in the NLCS. The pitching has been mediocre at best....and that is the strongest card they can play. Lincecum will really need to have a good game tonight to get them back in this series. So far it looks like the offense will have to carry them if they are going to win this series. I don't want to take anything away from the Cardinals, they are certainly a good team and deserve to be here, even if no one thought they would be. But, again, after last years world series, we should know that we can never count out the Cards. They always play hard to do the small things to win games and get the job done. Lets see if the Giants can pull it together and get their pitching on track, because if they can't do that tonight, then chances are they will not be winning this series.
