This is the first time these two clubs meet in the book this season, so bragging rights are still up for grabs.

Jorge Bells bring a record of 10-4. Offense has edged defense in the totals—289 runs for versus 223 against. Collectively they are swinging 0.560 on the year. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 5 wins and 0 losses. Winners of 8 in a row with a score on the board. In the AL picture, Jorge Bells slot in 3rd at 0.5 games back.

Kirk Gibsons show 4-9. They have scored 211 runs while allowing 257, so opponents have plated more against them than they have pushed across themselves. Collectively they are swinging 0.515 on the year. Their five most recent posted finals read 2 wins and 3 losses. Their last game with a result went in the win column. In the NL, Kirk Gibsons sit 6th at 9.0 games back.

What we expect: Jorge Bells have the cleaner season line—wins, run margin, team average, and recent finals all tilt their way. Kirk Gibsons can still steal it with a big inning, but Jorge Bells look like the steadier bet to control the pace.

Not a real line; just a fan read.
