They are very good at working pitchers in the playoffs. Lackey and Miller have proven to be tough on the Giants. Lynn can be broken down by walks and mistakes. The bullpens will used effectively by both managers and will keep both teams in games until the final out. The key as always is for the Giants pitchers to keep it close, until the offense kicks in or the pressure yields mistakes. Monterey Sharkhttp://www.eollinger.comnoreply@blogger.com
