World Series Preview
NY Yankees vs Philadelphia Phillies
The oddsmakers put the Yankees as a decent favorite to win the Series. Looking at the lineups, it looks a lot more even than you might think. The Yankees this year hit the most home runs in the majors, and the Phillies were tied for second. With a stadium tailored for lefty batters, and Ryan Howard hitting from the left side, the Yankees don't have a significant home field advantage there. Overall, their lineups and pitching rotations are fairly even. But while one team may not have a big advantage over the other, the Yankees do have slightly better numbers this postseason. Their team ERA is almost half a point lower than the Phillies. And while the Phillies may have scored more runs, the Yankees have a higher team batting average. The problem has come with runners in scoring position, where the Yankees have struggled. But if they can continue to hit with a high average, the important hits will come, and the Yankees will win.
Pick: Yankees 4 - Phillies 2
