World Series 2009 - Phillies at Yankees Game 6: New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi knows who his go-to guy is when it comes to closing out a series. Today, for World Series 2009 Game 6, Girardi will hand the ball to lefthander Andy Pettitte with hopes of helping the Yankees nail down the clubs 27th World Championship. Pettitte pitched the clincer this post season in the ALDS versus the Twins and the ALCS against the Angels. The Yankees starter went 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA during the regular season. Desperate for a win, to send the series to a seventh game, Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel will look to veteran righthander Pedro Martinez. Martinez went 5-1 since joining the Phillies with a 3.63 ERA. World Series 2009 oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com list the Yankees as -200 moneyline favorites versus the Phillies with a 9-run total. Phillies backers are getting +185 odds as the underdog. Martinez gets a chance to add to his legend at Yankee Stadium in Game 6 of the World Series. Martinez allowed three runs in six innings in a 3-1 loss to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in Game 2. He will be pitching on five days' rest, while Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte will be pitching on three days' rest. That could be an advantage for Martinez, although he knows there are few easy outs in the Yankees lineup. Chase Utley went 2-for-3 with two homers and four runs batted in to lead the Phillies past the Yankees 8-6 in Game 5 of the series on Monday night. Philadelphia cashed as -155 home favorites, while the teams played OVER the 8.5-run total posted by oddsmakers.
