I didn't really look at this total, but when it hit 8, I looked into it and saw both pitchers have faired decent vs opposing line-ups.
Add the fact that Hamels doesn't get much run support and has pitched very well on the road...Brewers may be in a bit of a letdown spot after Reds series...maybe a 4-3 final...but hope it's 5-3 so we both cash!
