Philly over SF
First game matchup between Roy Halladay (first round: no-hitter) and Tim Lincecum (first round: two-hitter, with 14 Ks) could be one for the ages. But Halladay gets to face a much weaker lineup. This series could go long as both teams have terrific starting pitching.
Texas over Yankees.
Let’s say Texas splits the first two, Cliff Lee continues being Cliff Lee, then Texas splits the next two and, voila, Cliff Lee can wrap it up in Game 6. But if Yanks win any game Lee starts, that’s all folks.
Updated World Series Prediction: Philly v. Texas
Winner: Still Philadelphia (although it would be hard to bet against Cliff Lee).
