Pedro shut down the Dodgers and Hamels hasn't done sht in his past 2 starts (*cough* vs the same LA). Your argument is incredibly weak that Hamels is this "dominant" pitcher. Where's the beef? I watch all of his starts and he's had one good start in the last 5. He'll be cannon fodder for New York's bombers in Philly or NY, except that it's almost a lock he'll get rocked at NY because he loses his composure and especially has never pitched there.
I showed that Hamels is 1.5 runs better at home than away this year and Pedro just shut down the same team who rocked Hamels. Pedro is a seasoned vet at pitching in NY in October, and his return to form easily makes him the solid choice to start Game 2 in NY. It doesn't matter that Pedro pitched better at home than away because he just shut down the Dodgers on the road IN LA. He is the obvious choice, give Hamels a chance to try to return to form at home and not give NY extra confidence by decimating him in NY. If they decimate Pedro, who cares? Nobody expected him to do well anyway and they can start Happ in his place if it goes more than 5.
Miss Cleo, is that you? Pedro pitched pretty fcking good aside from one mistake to Tex and Hideki golfing a pitch that could have hit his toes. I like the Phil's chances tonight.
