The Phillies are headed to New York to take on the Yankees over the weekend. The Phillies will be finishing up a 10 game road trip that has seen them win 6 of 7 so far, while the Yankees will be heading into this series on a 9 game winning streak. Does it get any better than this? The Phillies make their first trip to the new Yankee Stadium as reigning World Champs. The Phillies are 22-17, sitting in first place in the NL East, while the Yankees are 24-17, sitting in third in the AL East just 1.5 games out of first. Both Pitching staffs have had their troubles with giving up home runs this season, the Phillies have given up 62, while the Yankees have given up 56, so this could be a weekend long home run derby. This should be a good series to watch, and wouldn’t it be great if the Phillies pulled off the sweep? 2 out of 3 would work.
