World Series
Yankees v. Phillies
Entering into this year’s fall classic, the Yankees and Phillies present one of the best match-ups in recent years. Both teams feature powerful lineups which have seen their former MVPs – Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Howard – leading the way. They both have spectacular number one starters – CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee – who both happen to be former Cy Young Awards winners with the Cleveland Indians. Sabathia and Lee are both backed by veteran pitchers – Andy Pettitte and Pedro Martinez – who have come through in the clutch this October and shaky starters – A.J. Burnett and Cole Hamels – who are question marks in their respective rotations. Finally each teams’ bullpens have had mixed results over the last three weeks, mixing steady holds with game ending blunders. It is anyone’s to take but it’s not going to be easy.
Game 1: Wednesday, October 28 at 7:57 PM/est on FOX
