The Phillies will go with future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez (5-1, 3.14 ERA), while the Yankees send one of their prized offseason acquisitions to the mound, AJ Burnett (13-9, 4.07 ERA).
The Philadelphia Phillies (100-71 SU, 88-81 RL, 77-84-8 O/U) and New York Yankees (110-61 SU, 95-76 RL, 79-83-9 O/U) will square off in Game 1 of the 2009 World Series tonight at 7:45 PM ET with both ballclubs looking to get off to a solid start behind their respective staff aces.
This is an intriguing match up for fans as they dig the long ball! This will be the highest combination of HR’s in World Series history as the Phillies and Yankees both hit well over 200 HR this season. Both teams dominated the post season and are looking to achieve the goal they set in the beginning of the year, a World Championship.
On Wednesday night, the entire baseball betting world will be tuned to Fox for coverage of the 2009 World Series. The Philadelphia Phillies (100-71, +$908) will invade Yankee Stadium looking to steal Game 1 of the Fall Classic from the New York Yankees (110-61, +$1,677).
This is familiar territory for the Phillies, who entered last season’s World Series as decided underdogs against the Tampa Bay Rays. They took Game 1 of that series en route to their first championship since 1980. Manager Charlie Manuel will hope to repeat that script yet again starting with the first game of the Fall Classic tonight.

When the New York Yankees defeated the L.A. Angels 5-2 in Game 6 of the ALCS on Sunday night, they not only won the AL Pennant and booked a date with the Philadelphia Phillies in the Fall Classic; they ensured that two of pro sports’ most obnoxious fans would see their teams vying for the World Series. Just kidding Yankee and Philly supporters…sort of.
The 2009 World Series gets underway Wednesday when the New York Yankees host the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium (7:55 pm ET, FOX).
Baseball Betting fans will find odds for both the opener and the best-of-seven series, in which the Yankees will be looking to add to their MLB-record 26 World Series titles, at betED.com.
