Diamond hasn't allowed an earned run this month. He's walking one batter every 11 innings. The same with home runs. He's stranding 82% of his base runners.
I'd be worried about jinxing him tonight, but there's a very real possibility of not playing the game at all.
In his last five starts Blanton has allowed 29 earned runs in 26.1 innings. Holy crack.
