Stay away from the cold pitcher on Saturday night

General Betting

World Series odds are the big play of the weekend, and Game 3 goes Saturday night in Philadelphia, where Andy Pettitte of New York will face the Phillies’ Cole Hamels, who was the World Series MVP last year. Who should you go for? Consider these factors:

  • Hamels hasn’t allowed less than three runs in an outing in his last six starts
  • Pettitte hasn’t given up more than three runs in his last seven starts
  • Hamels has been taken deep six times in three postseason starts this year, including four at home
  • Pettitte has given up two dingers, also on the road
  • The Yankees scored almost as many runs (455) during the regular season on the road as they did at home (460)
  • The Phillies scored a few more runs on the road (412) than they did at home (408)

With those betting tips, it should be plain to see that the favored New York Yankees will take a 2-1 lead in the World Series on Saturday night.
