MLB 2010 Playoffs: What the San Francisco Giants Need To Win the NLDS

They're back. After a seven-year absence from the postseason, the Giants hosting the wild-card wining Atlanta Braves in an upcoming Division Series. It has been a roller coaster of a season for the team by the bay.

In early July the Giants were in fourth place in the NL West and 4.5 games back. Then, after taking a three game lead, they dropped two to San Diego (SD was 12-6 this season against SF) and had to go to the final game of the season to clinch their berth. But they did it—and hope to follow it up with a World Series ring.

NLDS:

Game 1: Thur, Oct. 7th in SF

Game 2: Fri, Oct 8th in SF
