Over the course of a 162 game season, Clayton Kershaw was better than Cliff Lee.
Cole Hamels is a big name? Sure, but he's got a fastball that's lost effectiveness this year. He's been roughly the same pitcher as Randy Wolf all season long.
Go to Google and type in "JA HAPP FIP". Report back on how much you love him over any of the arms the Dodgers will throw out.
Gentlemen, there is a reason the Dodgers won more games than any other NL team in the best division in NL. There's a reason they have the lowest team ERA in baseball (by .3 runs). There's a reason they had the best bullpen FIP/ERA/kper9 of any team that made the playoffs.
It's because they're good. You don't do these things over a 162 game season by accident.
And they score runs on offense because they get on base at a .344+ clip. Almost .10 better than the Phillies, in fact. I'd take the Phillies offense if I had to choose, but would I take them against lefties? That's another story.
