Hamels:
Took losses when he gave up 2 runs: 3 times
Took losses when giving up 3 runs: 2 times
Received a no decision when giving up 0 runs: 1 time
Received a no decision when giving up 1 run: 2 times

That right there is 11 games that the phills easily could have one. I would almost bet my whole roll that no other pitcher is in that territory... Kershaw is in this spot 5 times in while pitching two more games then Hamels.
Hamels has only given up over three runs 3 times all season through 27 starts!
He has only given up more then 2 runs 6 times! That is 21 games out of 27 of two runs or less! Kennedy is at 11... Kershaw is at 9...
Not to mention that he has a better WHIP then all of the others that have been mentioned in this discussion.
Not saying that Hamels should win cy young... definately should not as of now... but he definitely should be in the discussions esp if Ian Kennedy is.
