The BIG question is - can the Phillies score?

That just it Grinder, Phillies bats fizzled out again last night after the early runs, but I guess San Diego's bats are poor too right now, maybe a play on Philly and the Under.

San diego bat is very poor, and hamels take the moud, with a impressive record at petco. Adding good perfomance of the hitters, we have the play.

On phills too, gl!

I'm on Phi today. Hammels last game against SD he threw 8 innings blanking the padres in a 5-0 win. Although their bats are not swinging good they have a LOT more to play for and they should get an easy win over padres today.

Hamels is looking to continue his command of the Padres. Friday will mark the 10th time Hamels squares off against the Padres, taking a 4-2 record, 2.75 ERA and .190 opponent's average recorded at San Diego's expense. As for PETCO Park? The southpaw has taken every advantage of its pitcher-friendly confines. Hamels is 2-1 with a career 1.57 ERA and has walked only two batters in four starts (28 2/3 innings) in San Diego, including eight scoreless innings in 2010
