New York at Los Angeles

The New York Yankees look like the team that went on to win World Series as opposed to the ones that have been basically one-and-done of late. The difference has been the starting pitching, which for once matches favorably against their opponent, and the Yanks have now won five straight. While Anaheim has been a house of horrors for the Yankees over the years, they even exercised that demon, winning two of three their last trip here, sending a loud message to the Angels, that this isn’t yesterday's team. A-Rod has also exercised his postseason demons as he has come up with big hit after big hit. Jered Weaver has not pitched as well in the second half as he did the first, as he went from a 2.60 ERA against winning teams in the first half covering 10 starts, to a 5.71 ERA in the second half against winning teams, and that includes 5.08 at home. The Yankees are now an amazing 70-27 in their last 97 games, for a 72.2% winning percentage and getting them as a dog here can only show value. The Yankees get the call.
