Hamels by definition is going to have wider variances because he is an uneven weighted pitcher so when he faces more lefties on a season his numbers are going to get worse. Additionally, Hamels is very park dependant so if he is playing in hitters parks on the road (I would hope Hamels was never put in a home park that gives up the long ball) his numbers are also going to fluctuate significantly.
If Hamels is facing more than about 30% lefties, then he probably wasn't a good fit for the division either.
