Yankees-Indians: Who’s your pick?

Oct 4th, 2007 by Bill Burt

While the Red Sox are on an off day — looking as “on” as ever this season — it’s a good time to look at what’s happening with the second most important baseball team around here | The New York Yankees.
They play tonight against the Indians.
I picked the Indians in 5 games. Am I crazy?
I believe tonight’s game is the key to the series, with C.C. Sabathia, leading the way for the Indians.
What are your thoughts? And why?

    Yes, Bill, you’re crazy. Everyone talks about how the Indians’ pitching is the key, but while Sabathia is great, Carmona has not proven himself to be a crunch-time pitcher.

    So let’s give the Indians a slight edge in pitching, because the Yankees aren’t that solid, either. Still, that’s not nearly enough to combat the huge advantage the Yankees have in offense, provided A-Rod doesn’t revert to his typical October self.

    My money is on the Yankees in four. I hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see.

    If CC/Fausto shut down Yankee lefties like the “experts” say they can/will, the Indians will win. If they aren’t up 2-0 leaving the Jake, it’ll be tough for them.

    Maybe Trot will make his presence felt?

    Carmona is the key. If he can be effective, then an Indians win is possible. That is assuming that the Indians don’t bring C.C. back on short rest. Other wise Yankees in 4.
