World Series 2009 Yankees at Phillies Game 3 Betting Odds: The Yankees kept themselves from having to fight their way out of a hole by evening the World Series 1-1 Thursday night. Now New York will try to put the one up on the Phillies on the road when they play the defending champs in their backyard at 7:57 PM ET this Saturday evening, Oct. 31st. Below is a baseball betting World Series Picks play to carve the bookies up with.
 

Pitching: New York will send postseason veteran left-hander Andy Pettitte (16-8, 4.00) against Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels (18-17, 4.49). Last year’s World Series MVP Hamels has not looked like himself afatre battling soreness in his elbow in the spring and has been hit hard in recent outings. Pettitte has been razor sharp in his postseason starts hitting his spots and keeping hitters off balance. Pettite should be able to stifle the Phillies lefty dominated lineup that has hit only.243 against left-handed pitchers this season.  The Yankees have the slight edge in the bullpen and with Hamels not pitching to his full capabilities the Yankees will have the advantage here. The World Series 2009 Yankees at Phillies Game 3 Betting Odds Total is at 9.0 Runs.

Lineup: Both of these teams have stacked lineups from top-to-bottom but Yankees star Alex Rodriguez is struggling once again. Alex Rodriguez was hitting .438 this postseason coming into the World Series but he has struck out 6 times in the first two games. Luckily Yanks first-baseman Mark Teixeira and his 39 regular season homers have come to life with his 400-foot bomb last night off Pedro Martinez.  Philadelphia is powered by big first baseman Ryan Howard who struck out 4 times last night but had been on fire before that performance. The Phillies have slightly better speed and defense and hold a slight advantage.
