Then again, I had that nagging feeling...great pitching and defense doesn't ALWAYS beat bats in baseball.A little bit of weird luck and the occasional brain fart have a hand in such things, too . . . ;)
The Yankees and Philly both have big bats, and in the case of the Phillys, they have great pitching too.I don't think these Yankees would have an easy time with this edition of Phillies if that's what the World Series match will be---the Phillies' pitching is measurably better than the Yankees, at least until you get to the closers.
But I think the Giants may give the Phillies a run for it in the pitching department. Unless there's an unexpected twist I'm not catching onto yet, Lincecum versus Halladay should be a very low-scoring, low-hitting affair.
Another torturous Giants win...4-3.
