MLB: World Series Game 1 Preview
The 2010 World Series is shaping up to be one of the best World Series in recent memory. While this year’s Fall Classic does not feature any of the powerhouse teams that baseball experts were predicting to make the World Series like Philadelphia, New York or Tampa Bay, this World Series will have its fair share of dramatic moments.
With star players such as Tim Lincecum, Cliff Lee, Vladimir Guerrero, and Josh Hamilton, this year’s MLB championship series will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Game 1, which will be played Wednesday, will feature the two best pitchers of this year’s postseason when Tim Lincecum takes the mound to face Cliff Lee of the Texas Rangers.
Lincecum will bring his 1.93 ERA, .171 Batting Average Against, and 0.81 WHIP with him to go against Cliff Lee’s even more impressive 0.75 ERA, .151 Batting Average Against, and 0.58 WHIP. With both of these fantastic pitchers on the mound in game one, you will have to think runs will be at a premium in this contest.
The Rangers’ lineup does have a little bit more power in it than the Giants so they are figured to be a slight favorite behind their ace for game 1.
The first game of this year’s World Series will be played at San Francisco’s ballpark thanks to the National League winning this year’s All-Star game, which also gives the Giants home field advantage. While these two teams may not be from the biggest baseball markets in the country, the World Series is sure to capture the excitement of baseball fans around the country this October.
