3* World Series Game 1 SMASH (FOX) on Yankees -166
The Yankees are a ridiculous 41-10 in their last 51 home games and a dominant 7-0 in their last 7 playoff games as a favorite. On top of that, the Yankees have won 10 of their last 11 home games with Sabathia hurling and his last 6 starts when priced as a favorite of -151 to -200. With the majority of Philly's power bats being left-handed, I look for Sabathia to have the edge in this duel with Cliff Lee tonight. The Phillies have hit lefty starters well on the season, don't get me wrong, but not like the Yankees have, who are hitting .287 against them and scoring 5.6 runs per game. I'll take the Bronx Bombers at home tonight.
