Lines for both the series and opener
are up on betED with the Yankees -162 World Series betting favorites to take Game 1 and
-195 favorites to take it all against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Yankees booked their World Series
tickets with an ALCS Game 6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on
Sunday in which the balanced hitting and pitching of the Yankees was
evident.
The Phillies meanwhile showed off some
batting prowess of their own led by Jayson Werth's 2 homerun effort
as they dispatched the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-4 in last Wednesday's
Game 5 showdown.
The series opener will be a duel
between two of the leagues best southpaws with the Yankees' 2007 Cy
Young winner CC Sabathia and the Phillies' 2008 Cy Young Winner Cliff
Lee taking the mound.
Game 1 is on Wednesday.
