Yankees vs. Phillies Game 4 World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks: Here we go baby, it’s almost time for Game 4 of the World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks to get underway from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA. In Game 3, the Yankees made it rain, exploding on Cole Hamels and the Phillies’ bullpen for 8 runs, on their way to a huge victory, taking homefield advantage right back.
But what everyone’s here for is: what in the world is going to happen tonight at 8:20 PM ET (5:20 PM PT) on FOX? According to World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks experts at SBGglobal.com, the (2-1) New York Yankees [-170 
ML] have been listed as the sports betting odds favorites to take a commanding 3-1 lead on the betting underdog (1-2) Philadelphia Phillies [+160 ML] tonight.
If you’re a Phillies fan I have to apologize, because I couldn’t agree more with those odds. Thus, I still think this series finishes in 6 games. How? The Yankees will win tonight, lose tomorrow night against Cliff Lee, and finish it off in the boogie down Bronx on Wednesday night!
Nevertheless, make no mistake about it, New York is more than capable of finishing things off in 5 games if Philadelphia doesn’t pick up its play, pronto. The pitching matchup for Game 4 of the World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks will make all the difference tonight, as I fully expect a sharper, more determined CC Sabathia (3-1, 1.52 ERA) than we saw in the opener. "It feels good for them to have confidence in you, especially in these situations," Sabathia said. "It gives you confidence when your team has confidence and the guys want you out there, and everybody is asking, 'Are you pitching today?'"
Combine that with the Bronx Bombers teeing off Philly tonight, and you got your answer. "As far as short rest, it's not necessarily something that you want to do a lot of during the course of a long season," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "But we're not in a long season anymore." The OVER/UNDER for this Yankees vs. Phillies Game 4 World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks has been officially set at a combined total of 8½ runs scored.
To be completely honest, I have no idea why Charlie Manuel decided to go with RHP Joe Blanton (0-0, 4.66 ERA) in such an important game. That decision can prove to be very costly, if the pinstripes can capitalize this evening. Needless to say that Manuel would be second-guessed like there’s no tomorrow if it backfires.
"At the most, we've got four games to play," Manuel said after last night’s loss. "If we're going to get going, it's time for us to do it… We're definitely capable of putting runs on the board. It's just a matter of time that we do. We've got to come out with the idea that we're going to get them tomorrow."
As far as Jimmy Rollins' World Series 2009 Predictions & Picks of beating the Yankees in 5 games, it’s Philadelphia that find itself in a situation where they can be ousted in a handful of games. "Well, it will be Phillies in six," Rollins said after being defeated at home in Game 3.
With a miserable day in yesterday’s game against a Yanks lefty, things don’t look much better for them tonight with the big fella on the hill. "I said it all postseason: I've had enough rest the past two months to be able to feel comfortable enough to go out there and pitch on three days' rest," Sabathia said. "I told Joe that at the beginning of the playoffs — 'I'm here and available whenever you need me.'"
