Whoo! I’m not a fan of either of these teams, but just as a baseball fan I am pumped for this series. To look at the pitching that is going to be on display between these teams gives me the shivers. What excitement. For instance, this season, the Giants were 1st in ERA, 1st in strikeouts, 1st in saves, and 4th in WHIP . . . in the major leagues! How does that even happen?
The Phillies were no slouch either: Roy Halladay has the CY Young all wrapped up; meanwhile, the Phillies were sixth in ERA and 1st in WHIP.
Forget hitting and intangibles for right now, in terms of pitching, this is going to be one memorable series.
Let’s break it down, starter to starter.
