The San Francisco Giants surprised a lot of people in 2019 as they finished third in the NL West with 77 wins and seven games ahead of the San Diego Padres.
Perhaps the team was just fighting for Bruce Bochy in his final season, or maybe this lineup is better than everyone thought.
I tend to believe Bochy had a lot to do with it as that roster is not very inspiring.
They got good seasons on the mound from Jeff Samardzija and Madison Bumgarner. And their bullpen was great.
