Goal: 2 out of 3
Game 2 of the series is Timmy vs Billingsley which should slide in Lincecum's favor. That means the other 2 are the rubber matches.
Game 1 offers Maddy a chance to get back on the horse after a less-than-stellar 1st start vs the Padres. He's going against Giant-killer Clayton Kershaw, though, so Maddy's got to pitch for a 2-1 win. I'd call this one the gravy game (meaning if they can take game 1, so much the better, but if they drop it, games 2 and 3 are easier to win anyway).
Game 3 will be Sanchez vs Lilly. Considering that the home team tends to have a major advantage in the rivalry, and Sanchez is nails at home: this should be the Giants' game to win.
If they can score the runs.
Double plays kill rallies and the Giants have been shooting their rallies in the head regularly. Torres still out indefinitely, but Posey and Burrell should be back in. These guys are due.
Fred Sanchez, Miggy, and Panda Bear have been lighting it up. Hopefully they can get a bit more help throughout.
