World Series 2009 Game 6

With the World Series game 6 just a little time away, we will take a moment to look at the projected predictions on whether who will be victorious, The Yankees or the Phillies. The Yankees will want to improve on their last visit to the Phillies hometown with a win that could see them potentially winning the Series.covers-nba_and_mlb

With the Phillies clutching a win on Monday night with a 8-6 win, they are 1-9 straight up in their last 10 games, while the Yankees will want to put both hands on the World Series to gain their 27th World Series victory.

Pedro Martinez will mark his third appearance, and Chase Utley who caused most of the offensive fireworks in the last game with early runs, never seem to go beyond that in later innings. Yankees on the other hand, have done it the other way round, not getting many in the 1st innings, but severely giving the knockout punch to the opposition later in the game.

Though the World Series 2009 Game 6 has the Yankees trying to clinch, the Phillies are regarded as having a little edge, due to Martinez and Pettitte’s situations. Martinez is on regular rest, and is coming off a solid effort inGame 2, which was only marred by two home runs. But the big question in the World Series 2009 Game 6 is about Andy Pettitte, and his abilities on three days rest.

Charlie Manuel was bashed for not putting in Cliff Lee on three days rest in Game 4. But because he didn’t, he has Martinez set on regular rest for Game 6. Joe Girardi, on the other hand, decided to use C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte all on three days rest, and it could haunt the Yankees now.

After a gem in Game 2, Burnett collapsed on three days rest in Game 5. There have been reports that Pettitte is worn out, yet there are no other options for the World Series 2009 Game 6. The Phillies know they can get to Pettitte, as he gave up three runs in the second for Game 3

In the World Series 2009 Game 6, Joe Girardi, Charlie Manuel, Howard, Teixeria, Pettitte, Martinez and both bullpens will be under the gun more than ever. The red-hot Johnny Damon and Chase Utley will be looked upon for more November magic as well. But there is cold air coming into Yankee Stadium tonight, and if there is a Game 7, rain and snow could be a factor tomorrow – if that’s when Game 7 is played.

six years have passed since the World Series reached a Game 6 and the Yankees wins 7-3 and win the Series in 6.
