At 7:55pm our complimentary selection is on the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies 'under' the total. You would think the Phillies would feel great about their position heading into tonight having left New York with a 1-1 split and now getting to play three straight at home where they've been so tough in the post-season. Yet it's the Yankees that have the momentum right now and most people feel that they are still the favorites to win this series. In fact, they are a slight favorite in the game tonight with their master of the playoffs, lefthander Andy Pettitte heading to the mound to try and add to his illustrious post-season record.
Pettitte is like the hot goalie on an NHL team heading to the Stanley Cup, as it seems that the post-season is HIS season right now. The Phillies are hoping that Cole Hamels can get hot as well, like he was in last year's post-season because so far Hamels has not been the same pitcher he was a year ago. But there are some encouraging signs for the 26-year-old southpaw, like his 12:2 strikeouts-to-walks ratio so far in the post-season, which indicates that there's probably nothing wrong with his mechanics and he just needs to settle down and try and pick his spots better.
Pitching Hamels third in the rotation instead of second should help him in those departments, as he is clearly more comfortable starting at Citizens Bank Park, sporting a 3.76 ERA there in 2009 vs. 4.99 on the road. Citizens Bank, like Yankee Stadium really opens up and plays very cavernous when it's colder out.
Take the 'under'. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
