361 with seven RBI while Cabrera is batting

But Raul Ibanez had an amazing year, which makes this one close I can't make a call here. Raul Ibanez is batting .226 with nine RBI while Johnny Damon is batting .238 with five RBI. This one is just too close to call so I'm not giving the advantage to either player I'm calling this one a split.Edge: Split. These two center fielders have been playing great this postseason, so this presents another tough call. Victorino is batting .361 with seven RBI while Cabrera is batting .314 with four RBI.

The Flying Hawaiian, as Philly fans call Victorino, is also a very strong threat to steal bases. His stats plus his speed give Victorino the edge here.Edge: Phillies Not a close call here. Nick Swisher is batting a lowly .125 with one RBI so far in the postseason while Jayson Werth is batting .281 with 10 RBI. Nick Swisher has been struggling all postseason long in the batter's box, while Jayson Werth when making contact with the ball, is usually bombing it out of the park Easy decision here Edge goes to Jayson Werth.Edge: Phillies.

Here we havea matchup of the 2006 NL manager of the year, Joe Girardi with the Marlins, and the reigning World Series Champion manager Charlie Manuel. You have to go with the present, so the edge goes to Manuel.Edge: Phillies. We all know the disaster that was the Phillies bullpen during the regular season. Will they be able to keep the fort together when facing the powerful lineup of the New York Yankees Who knows. Either way the Yankees bullpen is better, especially when you have the all time postseason saves leader in Mariano Rivera Edge: Yankees.

For that reason the Yankees get the edge here.Edge: Yankees. So the edge selections ended like this 6-5-1 with the Phillies on top. So can we take this as it is and go with the Phillies to repeat as World Champions Eh, not so quick. The Yankees are feeling good and rumbling like a machine, but then again so are the Phillies.
