With games 3, 4 & 5 taking place in their home park it would seem the Giants have the advantage, but after the way they lost in game 2 that doesn’t seem to be the case.
For the 1st time in these playoffs Giants pitching could not shut down their opponent and their hitters couldn’t get the hits they needed in their 7-2 loss to the Royals.
To make matters worse reliever Tim Lincecum, who was the only pitcher that looked sharp and retired all 5 batter he faced, left the game with back spasms and is now questionable.
This, coupled with outfielder Travis Ishikawa’s glaring limitations could prove disastrous for them.
The Royals, meanwhile, have momentum on their side and a squad that can hurt you in a variety of ways, as they are brilliant at playing small ball.
They also have an advantage tonight with veteran pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for them; San Fran has Tim Hudson starting.
Hudson is known to give up bases (22 steals in 26 attempts over 2 years), which could help the Royals get the runs they need.
It will all come down to who cans stop the other team from scoring.
My prediction: Royals 4-Giants 2.
