Position players wise, the Yankees dominate. Howard is good, of course, but who else? Utley chokes in the playoffs, Werth was awful against the Dodgers, and Ibanez has fallen off the Earth since the first half of the season.
I say the Yanks sweep with CC winning games 1 and 4.

Utley didn't choke last night
I have pulled for the American League team every year since I was a kid in '58 but even though I am pulling for the AL again, Texeira and Swisher will kill the Yanks at the bat and A-Rod will resort to the pre-2009 postgame A-Rod. Phils in 6.
