Don't even count the Yankees homers. Their stadium is a band box.

2. I still think it'll be the Yanks and Phillies, with NY taking the whole shebang.

3. I'm hoping that it is not the Phillies...
and I am hoping that the Yankees loose, either in the ALCS or the World Series - which one doesn't matter.

6. Wait a minute, OP.
Why not count the Yankees' homers? The NL team will have just as short a porch in RF as the Yanks at the stadium. Besides, I recall game 3 of the ALDS was essentially won by 2 Yankee solo homers -- no home field advantage there.

Predicting Yankees vs. Dodgers.

7. the Yankees
pitching staff is a strikeout staff and Yanks hitters hit homeruns. Since 4 games will be played at Yankees Stadium, those numbers count. And like I said, the Yankees also led the league in road home runs.

12. last year
he got destroyed in game 1. The Brewers abused him down the stretch. The Yanks protected his arm at the end of this year.

9. Phillies have a better chance than the Rockies would have
Col. went 4-14 against the Dodgers this year...

At least thanks to your weak kneed closer , the Rockies won't have another chance to stink it up against LA.

Thanks Huston!!
