World Series Odds Game 2 - Phillies at Yankees on FOX

The Philadelphia Phillies got a brilliant performance on Wednesday night from Cliff Lee to take a 1-0 lead in 2009 World Series odds. They will look to make it two straight on the road on Thursday at 7:57pm EST with Pedro Martinez on the mound for a game that can be seen on FOX. Pedro hasn’t pitched at New York since 2005 but he is definitely fired up to pitch on Thursday. He went 8-5 with a 3.21 ERA in 18 career starts at the old Yankee Stadium. The Phillies are big underdogs in Game 2 since many people the Yankees must have a split at home. New York is a -210 favorite in World Series odds with a total of 9 UNDER -125.

The Phillies will be looking to take firm control of this series on Thursday. No National League team has repeated as World Series champs since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds but if the Phillies win tonight they would be in prime position in World Series odds heading home. Pedro went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA in nine starts for the Phillies this year. In his postseason career he is 5-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 12 career starts. He was brilliant last time out against the Dodgers in the NLCS allowing just two hits over seven shutout innings. Bet the Phillies +175 as underdogs in 2009 World Series odds at online sportsbooks.

The Yankees went 57-24 at home during the regular season which was the best record in the league. They will need a win at home tonight in World Series odds and they are counting on a strong effort from A.J. Burnett. He was 13-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 33 starts this season. "I'm excited," Burnett said. "I'm going to prepare, yeah, maybe, as another game, but deep down I know what it's about. I know how real it is, and I don't want to change it." Burnett is 5-8 with a 4.85 ERA in 16 career starts against Philadelphia. Bet the Yankees -210 as favorites for game 2 of the 2009 World Series.

The Phillies continue to thrive on the road and as an underdog. The Phillies are 9-3 in their last 12 games as a road underdog. The Phillies are 8-2 in Martinez’s last 10 starts. The Yankees are 41-11 in their last 52 home games. The Yankees are 41-14 in baseball betting for their last 55 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Yankees are 11-2 in Burnett’s last 13 home starts. The Over is 8-2 in the Phillies last 10 road games. The Under is 35-17-3 in the Yankees last 55 home games. The Under is 12-3-1 in Burnett’s last 16 home starts. The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in New York between the two teams.

Whitmore's 2009 World Series Picks: The Yankees got slapped around in game 1 at home so they are sending Burnett to the mound for game 2 on FOX. Well... I'm not a big fan of A.J. although all the sports handicappers and betting trends are expecting him to shut down the Phillies. Regardless, I'm going to go out on a limb for game 2 between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees in World Series odds and make my pick the Phillies +175 on the road to the UNDER in a 2-team parlay at BetUS. Vegas odds at Caesars sportsbook have the Yankees -200 favorites against the Phillies +170 with a betting total of 9.

BetUS has the Yankees -210 in 2009 World Series odds against the Phillies with a total of 9 UNDER -125.
