San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies (-158, 7)
The
Giants had their chance to finish off the Phillies at home in San
Francisco with Tim Lincecum on the mound against a less-than-100-percent
Roy Halladay. Now they have to go on the road to Philadelphia and win
one of the final two games for a trip to the World Series.
Facing
the Gaints on Saturday is Roy Oswalt, who took the loss when he gave up
a ninth-inning run in an ill-fated Game 4 relief appearance. However,
in his Game 2 start, Oswalt went eight innings and struck out nine while
allowing just three hits and one run.
Even if Oswalt can’t go
all the way in Game 6, San Francisco could have a similarly tough time
against the bullpen. The three runs charged to Oswalt and Chad Durbin in
Game 4 are the only runs allowed by the bullpen in 16 postseason
innings. Ryan Madson struck out the side in the eighth on Thursday in
Game 5 and Brad Lidge closed the door with ease in the ninth.
“We
know as a group, it's not going to happen very often,” Madson said of
being scored upon. “When it does, you just have to get through it and
forget about it and get through the next day with all the confidence in
the world. That's what we did today.”
Pick: Phillies
