For the New York Yankees, there are several reasons why they will win the World Series.

At almost every position they seem to have the edge over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees have home field advantage, and they were the best home team all season. They have also yet to lose at the new Yankee Stadium this postseason.

World Series betting odds favor New York to win, listing them at -200.

They have Alex Rodriguez finally playing like the player he is on the biggest stage.

Derek Jeter's on-base percentage this October is .435, which propels a Yankee offense that is firing on all cylinders.

The Yankees’ starting pitching has been solid, with CC Sabathia leading the way with dominating performances so far.

Oh and don't forget the best closer in baseball in Mariano Rivera. He has yet to blow a save in the postseason and could end up being the difference in the series.
