One reason why the Phillies might lose .........

At work, newspapers, message boards, NESPN, Sports Radio.... Not necessarily on here, but it's all over

That's funny cuz on ESPN they were just saying the complete opposite!

Peter gammons and John Kruk expect a dominating performance tonight which will lull the yankee hitters to sleep.

Yankees killed LH SPs this season. Who's the Phils best pitchers?

Looks good for NY.

[wayne1218]

Phillies +13 Wins vs lefties
Yankees +18 Wins vs lefties

Phillies +11 wins vs righties
Yankees +26 Wins vs righties

Phillies played 3 games in NY this year and they won 2 out of 3. Happ, Hamels and Myers started those 3 games vs Burnett, Pettitte & Sabathia

Doesn't look like any huge NY advantage to me!

[mavskidd02]

Yankees +18 wins against lefties, only 8 less than vs. righties, despite playing half as many games vs. LHP.

Looks like something to me, but I won't argue with you...

Yankees were +18 vs lefties in 54 games

Phils were +13 vs lefties in only 45 games

If the Phils played 9 more vs lefties and won 7, it is what it is, a WASH!

You're missing my point, but like I said, I won't argue with you.

There is no point. NY was +18 in 54 games and Philly was +13 in 45 games. They both were great against lefties and if Philly played 9 more against lefties, you could say the same about them.

NY was +26 vs righties and Philly was only +11. If you want to talk advantages, there it is. Neither is throwing a righty tonight.

[wayne1218]

Philly CRUSHED Lefties this year too if you compare it to their win % vs righties. Last i looked, the Yankees are throwing a lefty tonight, right?

[wayne1218]

If you like the Yankees just say you like the Yankees but if your gonna compare win %'s for each team lefty vs righty, Philly was just as good so they should be included. That's all i'm saying.

[wayne1218]

Philly struggled vs righties going only +11 in a whopping 117 games. They were +13 in just 45 vs lefties. Clearly better against lefties.

The Yanks may have had a better winning % vs lefties but they were still +26 vs righties in only 108 games. They won 15 more in 9 less games vs righties. Now that's an advantage!!!!!

[mavskidd02]

There is no point.

Nope, there never is a point.

Yankees big 4 (Cano, A-Rod, Jeter, Tex):

vs. LHP: .321 BA
vs. RHP: .303 BA

Phils big 5 (Howard, Rollins, Utley, Werth, Ibanez)

vs. LHP: .262 BA
vs. RHP: .275 BA

Yankees, hit lefties better than rights.
Phils hit rights better than lefts.

'NUFF SAID!

[wayne1218]

I don't care about averages, i care about WINS. What did Tex bat in the ALCS??? Did they win??? That's all that matters in the end!

[wayne1218]

Doesn't matter anyway mavs, "Your" Yankees are a 2-1 favorite anyway so i'm sure they'll win!
