Monday 8-0 vs LA
Tues 2-0. Vs LA
Wed 3-0 vs LA
Thur 5-0 vs Cinn

All this without even using their ace Matt Cain. Are the giants the NL favorite to get to the WS with this insane pitching?

Getting to the playoffs is always hectic. Best to win division outright and avoid crappy wildcard game. But there is no more dangerous team in a playoff series with this caliber of starters.

If playoffs started today it would be SF, LA, Washington, and Cinn. Not much playoff experience there.

I think it's more impressive that they did it with this years version of Timmy Jim.

Franchise record 36 straight scoreless innings by the staff.

Between us and the Nationals, it's pretty close.

Here's an interesting stat: the Giants are 6th in all of baseball in hits but are ranked 21st overall in runs scored. So they are do for some correction there ... that will lead to a few more wins. If San Francisco can stay healthy I think they win the NL West by a handful of games over Arizona. Dodgers finish the season in 3rd place. 91 wins gets it done in that division, IMO.

SF vs WAS in the NLCS would be a good series. SF in 5....

Giants pitching is sick, but Posey needs some love as well. In Posey's 1669 career innings at catcher (counting playoffs) the Giant's pitchers have a 3.18 ERA

The cubs are going to have a hot 2nd half. You just watch.

Correct. Voggy outdueled Kershaw. That was a great game.

Cain's last outing gave up 1 in 7 @ Oakland.
