After starting off well in the 2010 National League Championship Series, the San Francisco Giants will look to make a sweep of the first two games at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. In Saturday night’s Game 1 of the NLCS, the Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3. If the Giants can secure a second win tonight, they will head back to their home ground for Game 3 of the NLCS on Tuesday.

Tonight, the Giants will send starting left-handed pitcher Jonathan Sanchez to the mound. Through the regular season, Sanchez was 13-9 with an earned run average of 4.26. Sanchez is 0-0 in the postseason with an earned run average of 1.23.

The Phillies, two-time defending National League pennant winners, will counter with starting right-handed pitcher Roy Oswalt. Through the regular season, Oswalt was 13-13 with an earned run average of 2.76. Oswalt is 0-0 in the postseason with an earned run average of 5.40.

In Game 1, the Giants showed that they had what it take to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies and my guess is that they are going to do it again in Game 2. If Tim Lincecum can beat Roy Halladay, Jonathan Sanchez can outpitch Roy Oswalt tonight.
