The fans have been treated to some very good pitching in the first two games of this series. In Game 1, Cliff Lee of the Phillies went the full distance, striking out ten and giving up just one run. It was AJ Burnett’s turn in Game 2, as he went seven innigs for the Yankees and allowed just one run, striking out nine members of the Phillies. Pedro Martinez didn’t do too badly either, allowing three runs, two of them coming on solo homers by Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui.
Andy Pettitte has put together three quality starts in the post-season thus far. Interestingly, he has gone 6-1/3 innings in all three of them. His best outing may have been his Game 3 start against Minnesota, where he allowed just a run on three hits, but he was strong last time out, in the clinching game against the Angels, as he allowed a single earned run on seven hits. What most people like to point out with Pettitte is that he has more post-season wins than any other pitcher, going 16-9 in his career with a 3.83 ERA. It certainly does take a certain “ice in the veins” to able to get the job done when you’re on the biggest stage, and Pettitte has done it in twelve different seasons in his career.
Cole Hamels came alive last year in the post-season, with a 1.80 ERA in five games. He won the MVP in both the National League Championship Series and the World Series. He started against the Yankees earlier in the season, going six innings and allowing two runs without walking anybody, in a game the Phillies won 4-3. Hamels has not had a particularly good season and he has not been in good form lately. Over his last six starts, he’s had a 6.90 ERA, and in 14-2/3 playoff inning he allowed 11 earned runs. Needless to say, Charlie Manuel was worried enough that he decided to give Pedro Martinez.
Both of these teams have been excellent against left-handed pitching. The Yankees posted a 34-18 record during the regular season, while the Phillies were 29-16. Philadelphia’s record at Citizens Bank Park was 45-36, which was not one of best marks in baseball.
Will Alex Rodriguez get out of slump at some point? He has struck out six times already, but his performances in the first two playoff series indicate that he had found the rhythm with his bat, as he hit .438 with five home runs. I can’t see him stumbling through this entire series. The Yankees may face a bit of a defensive issue with the DH out of the picture in Philly, as Hideki Matsui could find himself in left field. That would send Johnny Damon to center and Melky Cabrera possibly into right field. If that doesn’t happen, Matsui fortifies the bench, and the bullpen is pretty frsh too.
I must admit a little partiality with this one. Cole Hamels is my niece and nephew’s cousin (on my sister-in-law’s side, if you’re following along). So my niece will be sitting there, after tick-or-treating, with her Phillies shirt and autographed baseball card and rooting for her kin. But hey, business is business – this is not the same Hamels who worked magic last year. We won’t tell her anything, but we’ll side with the Yankees, the -125 favorite in the BetUS Major League Baseball World Series betting odds.

Cole Hamels is not the same pitcher as last year’s series and if he gets rocked early and the Phillies have to go to their bullpen this game is all but over.
The Phils only chance is to get their bats going and get an early lead.
