Even if you wanna say that Halladay and Lincecum are close to even, are you going to really argue that Cain or Sanchez is better than Hamels or Oswalt? I think that would be verrrry silly.

Well, if the Giants can get a win behind Lincecum, then that would put pressure on the rest of the Phillies staff. That's when pitchers like Cain and Sanchez can get a huge mental advantage over their adversaries.

Game 1 is key.

Hamels has been in situations like that before and passed with flying colors, and is pitching his best ball since 2008. The only guy I'd worry about is Oswalt. He wants a WS ring so bad he might psych himself out, especially after his so-so outing last time out.
