Pick of the day 10/29

Tonight is a huge night for the Yankees. On the mound for game 2 of the World Series is AJ Burnett for the Yanks and the most hated player in Yankee stadium Pedro Martinez for the Phillies. The Phillies are certainly taking a risk pitching Pedro at this point in the Series, since he hasn't hardly pitched in the last month. Pedro is past his prime but they are hoping that his experience in not only the playoffs but the playoffs in the New York atmosphere will help him guide the Phillies to a 2-0 start to the series. Unfortunately for the Phillies this is not going to happen. Burnett has shown that he is on top of his game late this season. He didn't have a great outing in his last game against the Angels, but then again that's only going to light the fire under him to get it done tonight. The Yankees will win game 2 to even the series going into 3 games in Philadelphia starting Saturday. Although they would have liked to take both games at home before the travel day they are going to have to make due with a series split. The Yankees are going to bring out all of the fire power tonight. They will likely score at least 5 runs and probably more. Pedro will do some good things tonight and show his expertise in these types of games but I think the Yanks will get to him before he is able to go out on a positive note. Look for a high scoring win for the Yanks. Burnett will take it into the later innings possibly past the 6th or even 7th. The interesting part of this series will not happen tonight it will happen when the Yankees have to deal with winning on the road.
