Why The Phillies Will Win The World Series

The National League doesn't have home advantage?
The NL is always worse than the AL?
The Angels/Yankees are the better team?

Oh, I think not.

The Phils are going to win, and there are actually a few reasons why:
They can capitalize on the other team's mistakes. The Yankees and Angels cannot--the Phils are more clutch. Nevermind Mr. November or El Comedulce, the Phillies all around are more clutch. They may not be especially known for their clutch skills, but they are more well-rounded. The Yanks and Angels are not.

The Phillies have better pitchers. Lackey, Sabathia, blah, blah blah, the Phillies are more well-rounded. After that first starter, who cound definitely best anyone in the AL (see 2008 Cy Young season), they've got choices: Martinez, who can go deep into games and keep the pitch count low but also get some key strikeouts. He's got playoff experience (see Red Sox, Mets) and is probably the most clutch guy on the team. Hamels, who can perform against the AL and even coming off a mediocre year could probably get the best of anyone besides the AL aces. Happ, who has been horrible out of the bullpen, is a good starter and almost definitely rookie of the year. Joe Blanton, who has pitched well in the AL before (see Oakland Athletics/pals with Nick Swisher) but isn't too clutch. Say what you will about the bullpen, but Charlie watches so carefully that he'll switch pitchers as often as he can. Probably not as often or as erratically as Joe Girardi, so if he faces the Yankees he will be overmatched in the overmanaging department.

The Phillies have been at home spending time with their families/watching the Flyers/chilling for a few days. The Yanks and Angels have been traveling, adjusting to the weather changes, etc etc. They'll be tired and they won't have too much momentum--they'll have battled really hard for this series and will need time to reload. Of course, the WS starts on Thursday, so they'll have had a break, but not as much of one.

The Phillies are more than just one dimensional. They have guys who can hit for average and power, guys who can hit and run well, guys who can hit and field well, guys who can pitch and hit, pitchers who can get strikeouts and groundouts...versatility is a key to winning championships. The Phillies have it, and it's one of the reasons they won last year.

And if they don't, well...the world series is based on luck, and they should have won, and I wouldn't mind settling for the NL pennant at all.
