They have played clutch baseball in situations they once would have flopped in. They have played consistently in all aspects in the game something they struggled with many times in the past, including during last year’s championship run. Most importantly, they have played like champions, failing to disappoint Philadelphia fans when we expect them to. I have seen plenty of top-ranked Philadelphia teams flop over the years, but this team has failed to do that. They have earned the respect of the baseball world, but haven’t acted presumptuously. I know this team all too well, and I can confidently tell you that they are not the team they used to be. As for the Yankees, I think they are a better team overall than the Phillies. However, as this article has revealed, they don’t match up well against the Phillies. The Phillies pose a challenge to the Yankees that the Yankees have not faced yet this season. They have players with World Series experience throughout their roster, and they know what it takes to win.

This Yankees team is the first step towards a new dynasty, but the Phillies are already in their glory years and are now on the verge of becoming a dynasty. I have a multitude of respect for this Yankees team, but they’re a patchwork of old and new that hasn’t come together the way the Phillies have. A dd that to the way these two teams match up head-to-head, and it looks like the powerful Yankees aren’t the clear favorite in this series. This series will undoubtedly go a long way in deciding whether or not the Phillies’ current team will become a dynasty, as well as in determining whether or not the Yankees are once again the kings of baseball. This much is clear this World Series has more on the line than any series has had before. Both organizations need this victory so badly, and because of this, many expect it to be a classic. I’m not going to pretend I’m completely convinced that my prediction will be right..but in the end, I think the Phillies’ intangibles including their experience, team-play, and seasoned manager as well as the structure of the series and the way the two teams match up will give the Phillies the victory in six games. Predictions often call for longer series when the teams are closely matched, but I think the Phillies will go into Game 6 up 3-2, and will earn the road victory.

Unless the Yankees either take a 2-0 series lead or gain a 3-2 lead in the series, I’m going to stick with that prediction Phillies in 6.
