Giants 2.5 ahead of Dodgers in NL, 3.5 ahead of Milwaukee, but 12.0 ahead of Atlanta and Cincinnati, and 13 ahead of San Diego.

Giants #5 in MLB OPS, #9 in runs scored, #1 in HRs (187), #2 in ERA (3.29) and T1 for WHIP (1.12), #4 in Fielding percentage with .987 -- but #1 in total chances, with 4,507.

Where are the Giants on batting average?

Do you think 4 hits; 2 runs (on a 2-run dinger) is a sustainable strategy through the playoffs?

Indeed, against the A's, every run the Giants scored in the 3-game series was thanks to the long ball.  I just don't see that happening much in the playoffs.  But maybe . . . 

P.S.  The Dodgers lost!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

No one cares about Batting Average anymore. I don’t think 2 runs on 4 hits is a strategy.  Montas was throwing 97 on the corners with a 91 slider and nasty change up. He is tough when on.  And he was on.

To answer directly. Giants fifth in NL. .245. Dodgers 4th .246.
