Phillies vs. Yankees World Series Predictions: In what some have dubbed as the Liberty series I am going to go with the team that sports the Statue Of Liberty. The Philadelphia Phillies are the reigning champs but I expect the top-ranked contenders from the best city in the world to supplant them as the kings of baseball.


The Phillies vs. Yankees World Series Predictions World Series Odds have New York at -210 at Sportsbook.com.

Yankees 3rd basemen Alex Rodriguez is the best player in baseball and it was only a matter of time before he played like it in the postseason. Expect New York 1st basemen Mark Teixeira and his 39 regular season homers to show up finally in the World Series too. For all of the talk that I have heard about the Phillies ability to manufacture runs people tend to forget that the Yankees stole 111 bases, only 8 behind Philly.

New York's postseason stars will illuminate in the prime-time. Players like Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera will make the difference. This is  a close series to call without question but the Yankees advantages in bullpen and lineup talent will give them the nod.
