Fan Joe Rourke told KCBS that the teams' combination of pitching and defense is the best he's seen in decades—even including, he said, the 2010 and 2012 season.
"The way they keep on playing, they got a chance to win a hundred games,' he said.
Meanwhile, across the Bay, the Oakland A's (38-23) have the best record in the American League.

"If these two teams keep on playing—the Giants and A's—they could have a 'Back-To-The-Future' World Series flashback to 1989," Rourke said.
