#1 Posted: 10/28/2009 5:44:34 PM Philadelphia at NY Yankees
The Phillies are the defending World Series champions, playing loose and with loads of confidence. The Yankees are also full of confidence, but are burdened by the fact they haven't won the World Series since 2000 despite leading the Majors in payroll year after year. Last year in the NLDS, Sabathia was on a roll only to watch the Phillies rock him for 5 earned in just over 4 innings highlighted by a grand slam by Shane Victorino. The Phillies were great against lefties all year and furthermore, they were great on the road. Lee won the first game at the new Yankee Stadium with the Indians 10-2, beating Sabathia that night. He is 2-0 this post season with a 0.74 ERA over 24 innings.

I feel that the Phillies are just "that d@mn good".
I didn't think so until they kept out hitting and out pitching their opponents in the playoffs. Of all the teams that have played the Yankees, NONE had the hitting and pitching that matches evenly with them. The Phillies, however, do.
So with the batters canceling each other out...it comes down to pitching. Which pitcher will crack first, even just a little to allow an opening for the other team? I know Sabathia has pitched well so far, but so has Lee. So for me, I think the pressure will get to Sabathia more than Lee, simply because the Phillies are the current champions and yet (still) have a lot less pressure than the overpayrolled Yankees...whom are EXPECTED to win.
Good luck
