Doesn't it seem that Santana is always pitching on the day games? Or on the road? Or both, like today? The Tigers better forget how to hit today, or it will be trouble for the Los Darren Olivers of Ervin. Here is a chart to show how bad Ervin is in situations like this (2007 stats):

16.1 IP/13 ER (7.16 ERA)
Day14.0 IP/3 ER (1.93 ERA)10.0 IP/10 ER (9.00 ERA)

Surprisingly, he is slightly better during the day at home than at night. But on the road, look out. How can a pitcher be so good at home and so terrible on the road?
