Yankees vs. Phillies 2009 World Series Picks: America’s favorite baseball team will try to knock off the defending World Series champions and we have are giving away a World Series pick. The Phillies are confident that they can repeat as champs while the MLB betting favorite Yankees are trying to win for the crown for the first time in nearly a decade.
 

I am going to have to go against my colleague Brad Marchetti’s World Series Picks selection on the Yankees by taking the Phillies to win in seven games. Both teams are razor sharp heading into the 2009 World Series but I like the Phillies starting rotation depth and experience. The Yankees have home-field advantage but I am expecting the Phillies to take control of this series early with a game 1 win by left-hander Cliff Lee.

The Phillies have proven that they can handle pressure situations and can play well on the road, two things the Yankees cannot not quite match up with. How soon will A-Rod’s choke artist tendencies take to show up? The lone weakness the Phillies appeared to have heading into the playoffs was the bullpen which does not appear to be a weakness at all now. The Phillies bats can match up to the most loved and hated team in baseball and with a bounce back performance by Phillies starter Cole Hamels the Phillies will take the series in 7 games.
