TWD Sports Saturday Thread #3 For 10/27/12: MLB World Series Game 3- Giants/Tigers

Simple must win tonight for Detroit as the series shifts to the Motor city, with Anibal Sanchez needing a similar gem against the Yankees last weekend to keep his team realistically alive.

Ryan Vogelsong has been immense though on the big stage as of late, and if Sanchez is not sharp enough, the Giants will be one game away for sure.

I think the Tigers will feed off this home crowd in their proud city, and avoid an inviable hole. But they have to play well. Cabrera and Fielder have been unlucky this series as they have hit the ball well enough to make an impact. Expect at least one of them to explode somewhere tonight, whether with a major hit or multiples ones.

The Tigers bullpen needs to show and be immense here. Dotel, Smyly, and Benoit have to be lights out, because Alburquerque and certainly Valverde can't be trusted at all.
