No Action Last Night

Game 6 of the World Series is tonight, but I'm staying away from it. I'm not sure how well Pedro will pitch and I seem to think Pettitte is not a big game pitcher. I think the Phillies really need a big game out of Rollins and Victorino. The Yankees just need to get through the 7th inning with the lead as they will bring in Rivera for 2. It should be interesting.

Phillies Lose - Down $20

Cole Hamels once again struggled and the Yankees did not look tight after A-Rod got that lucky homerun call. It should be a good game tonight. There are no NFL games that I like today. Except for Houston all of the favaorties are at home and most of the lines are high.

In Game 4 of the World Series CC Sabathia is matched up against Joe Blanton. As you can see, the analysis for end of the season and postseason games is different than regular season games. End of the season and postseason games have was more human element involved and therefore are harder to predict. It's kind of like football. So in this game I believe CC will lay an egg and that is why I like the Phillies.

In Game 3 of the World Series Andy Pettitte is matched up against Cole Hamels. Pettitte has pitched well this postseason and wrapped up the ALCS against the Angels last week. Hamels has continued to struggle as he is giving up a higher than normal amount of hits. The Phillies have been really tough at home the last 2 postseasons and the Yankees still look like they are playing tighter than normal. I like the Phillies to take Game 3 at home as I think they are the better all around team and have more confidence.

Bets

$20 PHI +110

Yankees Win - Down $30

Pedro pitched well but Burnett dominated. I did not think Burnett would dominate the Phillies, and I did not think the Phillies would only score 1 run. Game 3 will be interesting with Andy Pettitte facing Cole Hamels. A win last night would have a been a big boost to my portfolio, putting it at $999 (8.5% return), but instead I fall back into the negative. The breakout is coming.
