Giants Only Need One Win, but Phillies Confident for NLCS Game 6

PHILADELPHIA -- The NLCS will resume Saturday with Game 6, and the Phillies have the Giants right where they want them.

And vice versa.

If ever a 3-2 series could seem to be even, this is it. Obviously the Giants have the mathematical edge, needing to win just once to go to the World Series, but the Phillies are going to be at home, with the momentum of a Game 5 victory - for whatever that's worth - and a pair of aces to take the mound in the next two games.

Roy Oswalt is 10-0 in his career at Citizens Bank Park, including a stifling eight-inning performance against the Giants in Game 1. The Giants will give the ball to Jonathan Sanchez, who is talented but less experienced.
