Let's break it down by game to see what's gonna happen...
Game 1 @ Yankees
CC Sabathia vs. Cliff Lee
Story: Battle of two staff aces and ex-Indian teammates. Should be an awesome bat. Phillies bats are hot and they have already taken 2 of 3 from NY in May. Yankees are 5-0 at home the postseason.
Prediction: Phillies 3-2
Game 2 @ Yankees (PHI lead 1-0)
AJ Burnett vs. Cole Hamels
Story: Cole Hamels has sturggled this postseason despite what his record might show. If he isn't at his best, gotta give the Yanks the nod again.
Predicition: Yankees 7-4
Game 3 @ Phillies (Series tied 1-1)
Pedro Martinez vs. Andy Pettitte
Story: Marquee pitching matchup of two classic rivals dating back to the late 1990s and early 2000s. Pettitte has looked good, does Pedro bring his old flair?
Prediction: Yankees 5-3
Game 4 @ Phillies (NYY lead 2-1)
TBA (likely Happ/Lee vs. Gaudin)
Story: If Lee pitches it should be a no brainer but anything is possible in the postseason. Still, give the nod to the Phils.
Prediction: Phillies 6-2
Game 5 @ Phillies (Series tied 2-2)
TBA (likely Lee/Hamels vs. Sabathia)
Story: Provided the bullpens hold, this should be another close game down to the end. But just to be fair, let's say Sabathia isn't at his best tonight and then Lidge blows the save (just so we get everything in there)
Prediction: Yankees 5-4 (10 innings)
Game 6 @ Yankees (NYY lead 3-2)
TBA
Story: On the brink of their 27th World Championship the Yankees will not be denied, but away the Phils and lock up the 2009 World Series
Prediction: Yankees 8-5 (NYY wins series 4-2)
