under normal circumstances I'd agree with you. Except the Phillies are rolling out Pedro Martinez and Cole Hammels in the next 2 games. Those 2 guys plus a shaky bullpen = disaster.
It pains me to say this since I hate the Yankees. I'll be rooting for Petey to be in '99 form tonite.
But this is what I see happening:
Game 2: Yankees 13, Phillies 6
Game 3: Yankees 12, Phillies, 4
This prediction smacks of SEC like league pride from a fan of a fellow AL team. I respectfully disagree with you.
