Phillies Game One World Series Payout Odds

The Philadelphia Phillies paid close to $200 for every $100 bet in Game One of the 2009 World Series following their 6-1 trouncing of the heavily favored New York Yankees (Odds were available at Sports Interaction for Game 2 here). 

The defending champion Phillies shut down Alex Rodriguez & Co. in the first Series game at the new billion-dollar Yankee Stadium. Trying to become the first NL team to repeat since Cincinnati in 1975-76, the Phils' 17-4 postseason run is the best in league history.

Philadelphia pitcher Cliff Lee outdueled CC Sabathia.

Lee blanked the Yankees until a run scored on shortstop Jimmy Rollins' throwing error in the ninth inning. The lefty improved to 3-0 with an 0.54 ERA this postseason.

"To be honest I really never have been nervous in the big leagues. This is what I wanted to do my whole life. This is what I take pride in. For me there is no reason to be nervous," Lee said.

"Game time is the time go out there and have fun and let your skills take over. It's kind of weird. Boils down to confidence and trusting your teammates," he said.

Sports Interaction will be offering betting on Game Two of the 2009 World Series beginning Thursday morning.
