Call me crazy but even with their recent history against the Red Sox, I love the Phillies with Hamels today.

You're crazy. History or not, Redsox bats are on fire. Recent history > old hickory dickory junk history.Comment -
No one would call you crazy at all when Hamels is on the moundComment -
I've already played the Phils, but it has as much to do with Wakefield as anything. He (like many knuckleballers) often gets clubbed the second time he faces a team. This year, for instance, he gave up 2 runs in 7 innings vs KC in the first meeting, then 9 runs in 3.2 innings the second time against the Royals. Against the Orioles, he gave up 2 runs in 6.2 innings in April, then 5 runs in 2.1 innings the next time he faced them. Wakefield dominated the Phillies a few weeks ago (when everyone was dominating them).
I'm hoping the Phillies drill Wakefield tomorrow and Hamels can keep the hot BoSox bats down enough for the win. I might even play the over.Comment -
Thanks for this great point. I still dont know if I can pull the trigger on the Phills but I am definitely on the over big! I may pull the trigger on PHI in the morning. Plus the NL as a whole is playing the AL much better this year. Maybe the NL will win an AllStar game for the first time in forever!Comment -

Your not crazy I like this play tomorrow. Hamels is good pitcher he should be able to keep the hot Red Sox hitters to a minimum. If not hopefully he gets enough support to win. Good Luck to AllComment -
