October 28, 2012 Playoff ProspectusWorld Series Game Four Preview: Giants at TigersBefore San Francisco’s 2-0 victory in Game Three, no team had logged back-to-back shutout victories in the World Series since the 1966 Orioles. The 2012 Tigers were held scoreless only twice during the regular season. So, naturally, the Giants blanked the Tigers in Games Two and Three to take a commanding, 3-0 lead in the Fall Classic. Can Detroit bounce back and avoid a sweep, or will the 2012 season end tonight, with San Francisco celebrating for the second time in three years? To answer those questions, here is a closer look at Game Four: Giants (Matt Cain) vs. Tigers (Max Scherzer) – 8:00 p.m. ET Projected Starting Lineups: |
Surprise Me!
Sick of the "Tigers imploding" memes and "Giants are getting lucky bounces" memes. The Giants are up 3-0 because they are an excellent team that is outclassing the Tigers in every area. The better team.
The Giants are certainly the more complete team- good starters, great relievers, great defense, deep lineup, and good baserunning. They hav lots of ways to win, and have shown it in this series.
The Tigers have a top-heavy roster- if their stars don't shine, they have less chance to win. So far, Fileder, Cabrera and Verlander haven't dominated like they often do.
