The Phillies lineup has been powered by second baseman Chase Utley who hit 2 long balls in game 5. New York’s bats have been hitting the ball well also and players like Derek Jeter, Johnny Damon and Alex Rodriguez have stepped up big-time. The Yankees will be without outfielder Melky Cabrera who pulled a hamstring but they have a capable replacement in Hideki Matsui. The Phillies will be without shortstop Shane Victorini which is a bigger loss but he will be back for game 7 if it permits.
