When going to make your World Series bets for this year’s matchup between the New York Yankees and the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies, you know all about the main names: Sabathia, Lee, Jeter, Utley, A-Rod, Howard. But these teams will need some secondary help, and here are the ones we think will step up.

New York

Mark Teixiera – The $180 million man has struggled in the playoffs, batting .205 with a single homer and five RBIs. He had two hits and four RBIs in the last two games of the ALCS, so he could be coming on, and the Yankees would be unbeatable if he could match Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter’s production.

Joba Chamberlain – Teams shorten rotations in the playoffs, which means Chamberlain was pushed back to the bullpen. He’s allowed one run in 3.1 innings of work, and if he could continue to hold the opposition at bay, the Yankees’ World Series odds go up.

Philadelphia

Raul Ibanez – The 37-year-old fell off after a torrid start that had him mentioned in the MVP conversation, and some think Ibanez is hurt, possibly an old abdomen tear. So far, he’s hitting .226 in the playoffs with a homer and nine RBIs, which is a boost, but he needs to be much more consistent at the plate if the Phillies want to repeat.

Brad Lidge – As usual, the closer will have all eyes on him. Lidge had troubles in the second half, causing him to lose his job, but he’s been great in the postseason so far with three saves and only one hit allowed in four innings. If the Phillies have a lead, Lidge has to close it out, because you can’t give the Yankees too many chances to stay in a game.
