Wakefield continued his streak of getting a decision in every start last night, and this one was an excellent win, allowing just 2 hits and 2 walks in 8 shutout innings.

But boy is his season weird.

Check out this list of most starts in 2007 allowing 2 or 3 ER. Wakefield is 140th on that list, with just 4 starts out of 24 this season. This comes despite the fact that only 23 pitchers have started more games than he has (and as of this writing nobody has started more than 26 games compared to his 24.)

Now, add in the fact that he's tied for 13th with the most starts allowing 0 or 1 ER (9 such starts) and also tied for 7th with the most starts allowing 4+ ER (11 such starts.)

He's starting to feel like a rich man's Kip Wells.
