    i get that CC is awesome too. its just cliff lee is posting insane pitching numbers right now, he's pratically unhittable. this game should be closer to -110 either way imo.

    lee is something like 4-4 with a 5.04 era career vs nyy he won't be fooling them they have seen him many times, same goes for pedro thats why these lines are so high phils are way out matched here.

    The part you are missing is that the NL is an inferior league. You are comparing apples to oranges.

    Did you see what Sabathia did in the NL?

    Yes it is.

    The AL had a bit of an "off" year in interleague play this year. They "only" went 137-114, which is the same winning percentage as an 88 win team.

    Do you compare 88 win teams with 74 win teams and say "it's close"?


    Year/Win-Loss/Win Pct/Season win equivalent

    2005 136-116 .540 87
    2006 154-98 .611 99!!!!
    2007 137-115 .544 88
    2008 149-103 .591 96!!!!
    2009 137-114 .546 88

    In baseball, these kinds of records indicate complete domination.

    And I ask you again, did you see what Sabathia did in the NL? Did you see what (insert name of any decent former AL pitcher) did when he switched leagues?

    1. Sabathia is better than Lee, and it's not close
    2. the AL East is tougher than the NL East and it's not close
    3. the AL is tougher than the NL and it's not close
    4. the 103 win Yankees are a better team than the 93 win Phillies and it's not close
    5. the Yankees are home for this game

    People who are not understanding the series and game one lines don't seem to realize points 1-4. This series is a relative mismatch. That's not to say the Phillies can't win. It's a seven game series, so anything can happen. I don't see value on the Phillies at these odds though.

    The line for Game 1 looks right on to me. Wait until you see the line for Game 2!

    i love the yankees here.
    any time you can get cc in the -100's grab it by the horns and dry hump it into submission!
    yankees 9-2.
    Shit my bravos knocked Lee out in the 4th last time they played, I think the yankees can hit em. Lets not over think this one, the yankees are a strong play here. -490 to make $300. lets go yankees!!

    Nothing about this is gonna be easy for the Yankees. Yes they should be favored but if you look at it honestly besides A-Rod who on the Yanks is really swinging a hot bat right now. Texiara at times looks lost right now. Other than the 10-1 blowout the Angels really hung in there and actually outplayed them at times. I think the Phillies are actually hitting better right now. I watched every inning of all the games so far and if was a pitcher what middle 4 of a lineup is more dangerous for me. Utley,Howard,Werth & Ibanez or Texiara, A-Rod, Matsui & Posada. I know how this sounds but if Philly gets anything from Rollins & Victorino the Yanks are in real trouble. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Lee was 22-3 with a 2.52 ERA last year in the AL

    This year his ERA in the AL was 3.14 which would have been the 4th best in the AL

    because.........

    1) Sabathia has been just as impressive
    2) Yanks lineup is the best in baseball
    3) Yanks bullpen has the best closer in baseball

    This one is a tougher call than it looks. based on the yankees play of late it looks like this game would favor the yankees. but if anything ill call for a play on the phillies
    here with a guy who won the AL Cy Young a year ago in C. Lee and although sabathia has been tough and yankees have the home field n they have yet to lose a game at home in the postseason, baseball is a dynamic game n theres a good chance
    they lose their first one here. looking at the pitching matchups early in the series game 1 is critical for the phillies to grab because none of the other matchups favor the phillies. for a hot-hitting team like the phillies having the extra DH in the lineup could bolster their offense even more. being the defending WS champs i look for the phillies to open sum eyes with a close win here. Go with the Phils here n GL.
