Ten of the past eleven game one winners have gone on to win the World Series - Can the Phillies continue that trend? Playing away from home didn’t seem to bother them at all and once they hit their home turf the Rays may find life a little difficult.

The general discussion now is that the Phillies will win 4-0. Of course, no one is taking into account the Rays and their road performances. Whilst not setting the world on fire, they can and have won big matches on the road, just ask the Red Sox fans. The Rays dropped game one to them and then came back to make a real series of the playoffs.

Having said that, the Phillies are now in the box seat. They lead 1-0 with three to win, three games at home will seal the victory. Before that, they have to get past the Rays. It’s game two, top of the 4th as I write and the Rays are up 3-0. They have been in this position in the past and lost, just check out game six of the playoffs.

This will be a great World series that will create many discussions and plenty of bets on SportsViews. There are already a good number of Buzz posts and bets - check them out and feel free to add your own views. Who will win the 2008 World Series? Hopefully the sports fans!
