Opposing Halladay will be Yankees' ace C.C. Sabathia (40-23), who encountered a few bumpy outings against Philadelphia in last year's World Series. He faces a lineup struggling to put together any offensive rhythm so far this season. The Phillies, as a team, are batting .258 and are 4-6 in their last ten games.
Bodog Sportsbook has the New York Yankees (-128) as a slight favorite, while the Philadelphia Phillies (+118) are 0-6 in their last 6 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150. The Yankees, on the other hand, are 7-1 in Sabathia's last 8 home starts vs a team with a winning record.
With the under being 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in New York, look for the Yankees to squeeze out a victory in a low-scoring, future Hall of Fame pitchers' duel. The Phillies vs Yankees MLB betting odds total is 9 runs!
