Cliff Lee – ERA CC Sabathia – ERA
All Games 2.99 3.17
Road Starts 3.44 2.93
Last 3 0.74 1.19

In the last 10 games for the Phillies the total has gone over 7 times, mostly due to the Phillies scoring an average of 6.2 runs per game. In the last 10 games for the Yankees the total has gone over only 3 times, due to opposing teams not being able to score many runs, and a lower 5.8 runs per game average.

The Yankees at home are almost impossible to beat. They are 41-10 in their last 51 home games, and Sabathia is 10-1 at home as a starter in his last 11 games. Bet the home favorite Yankees -170 at Bodog.com

Prediction CC remains unhittable and the Yanks win the first one.

John Lackey left in disgust, as he was pulled from the game with the bases loaded. His lips looked like he said “This game is mine” or “Its mine”. Mike Scioscia must be scratching his head, as the Yankees knocked in 6 runs immediately after pulling Lackey.

Scioscia replaced Lackey with Darren Oliver. Mark Teixeira wastes no time and bangs out a double, with Cabrera, Posada and Jeter all scoring. Then Oliver intentionally walks Anthony Rodriguez. 2 men on base Hideki Matsui singles and Teixeira scores. Oliver is now replaced by Kevin Jepson. More disaster for the Angels, as Robinson Cano triples, and Matsui and Rodriguez score.

John Lackey looks to contain the offensive powerhouse Yankees tonight

The Yankees lead the series 3-1 right now, and are coming off a 10-1 pounding of the Angels. The Yankees offense is like a spectacular fireworks show, and they keep answering the call. The Angels are listed at -106 and the Yankees are listed at -104 with the total at 8.5.

The Angels aren’t going down without a fight. They are bringing in their ace pitcher John Lackey tonight, who has pitched tough against the Yankees. Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett has been pitching red hot as well, and has a low 2.19 ERA this post season.

The Angels admit they are playing a bit desperate at times, sometimes swinging at bad pitches, trying to make things happen. If they can remain calm and let Lackey contain the Yankees, they can take this to a game 6. Can Lackey shut down the Yankees take the LA Angels at -106

Yankees 3rd basement Anthony Rodriguez has been red hot this post season, and the Yankees know all to well how easily the game can shift the other way. Derek Jeter wants to close this one out tonight, and avoid another disatrous collapse like they had against the Red Sox. Will the Yankees finish strong at -104 at Bodog Sportsbook tonight?

Prediction: The Yankees are too strong for the Angels take the -104 Yankees

The hot hand of Vicente Padilla, will it be enough for the Dodgers to hold on?

The Phillies are up 3 games to 1 against the Dodgers, and now its time for Joe Torre to bring out the Ace pitcher Vicente Padilla. In his last 7 games he has a low 2.61 ERA, his opposing pitcher Cole Hamels is pitching a 4.97 ERA in his last 7 games. Bodog Sportsbook.com has the Road Dog Dodgers at +125 and the home favorite Phillies are -145.

Look for this to be a last chance effort from the Dodgers, and really need their bullpen to step up. With the hot hand of Padilla, the Dodgers hold on this time.

Prediction Dodgers win +125
