Head: Yankees
Heart: Yankees
Gut: Phillies
Here's why. The Yankees had the best record in baseball, higher ranked players in batting and pitching, and had the best home record in baseball. Also the Yankees look very fit to make their new stadium an impenetrable fortress of doom. Wouldn't it be something, in their first year there, they would take the gold immediately?
And everybody has completely forgotten about A-Rod coming clean about his steroid use at the start of the season. Let alone that he used to suck in the playoffs, and now he doesn't. How quickly people turn.
I'm not sure any team can repeat in pro sports these days. The Patriots are the last team to do it I think. The Red Wings failed last year. The Celtics didn't make it at all last year. So I don't really see it happening to the Phillies this year either. It's just that Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jim Rollins and Cliff Lee scare me. If the Phillies steal one of the first two games in New York, they should take it home all the way. Otherwise the home advantage of the Yankees will be too great.
Rest will probably not be an issue. It's gonna snow, rain, hailstorm and everything, so CC and Cliff will each be pitching at least thrice this series.
