The Giants knew they’d be getting a quality opponent regardless

In what ways do the Reds pose a challenge?

"Good bullpen, good starting rotation and good hitting," Pagansaid. "They're a good team. That's why they won the Central. But we believe we're good too, so they should be asking the same questions about us."

The Giants knew they'd be getting a quality opponent regardless of whether it ended up being the Reds or Washington Nationals. The Reds entered their final regular-season game already at 97 victories – their most in the regular season since the tail end of the Big Red Machine days in 1976.

They have left-handed power in Jay Bruce, right-handed power in Ryan Ludwick and threats on the bases in almost everyone else.
