The online sports betting attention has shifted to baseball as the World Series has finally arrived. Not only is it worth watching because it is the final round of the baseball season, it is worth watching because it is going to be a great matchup.
The New York Yankees are the northbet favorite and given how they have been playing this year, this is not a surprise. They have a lineup of dangerous hitters from top-to-bottom and they have plenty of bats that are scalding hot right now, like Alex Rodriguez.
But the Phillies have the bats to match the Yankees, which is not something that many teams can say. The Phillies have four 30 home run hitters in their lineup and they plenty of depth through the order.
Home field advantage will lie with the Yankees, who earned it because the American League won the All-Star Game but the pitching matchup will be very tight.
The Phillies have a good one-two punch with Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, but the Yankees can counter with a better top three in C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte.
The bullpens is also equal.
Pitching outdoes hitting so look for the Phillies top two aces, Lee and Hamels, to lead the way as the Phillies get the job done in six games.
