Due to practical time constraints, I’ve been unable to complete a thorough pitching analysis (those infield and outfield comparisons took longer than expected). Rather than offer a diluted version, I encourage you to check out Mike’s pitching breakdowns over at River Ave Blues. He’s done a very nice job evaluating the Phillies starting staff as well as their bullpen. In the end, I think it’s fair to say that the Yankees have better pitching, which is why they’ll ultimately win the World Series (in 5, as per my prediction).

Also going with Yanks in 5, of course I predicted the same versus Anaheim so the Yanks will probably sweep. I haven’t seen RAB’s report yet but I feel like the Yanks pitching is superior and Girardi’s superior management of it will be the difference.

Looks like there is no way that is happening now!
