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

Ozzie Smiths bring a record of 2-2. They are underwater on the run chart—85 allowed next to 69 driven in. As a club they are hitting 0.486. Their five most recent posted finals read 2 wins and 2 losses. They lost their last finished game. In the NL picture, Ozzie Smiths slot in 4th at 1.5 games back.

Robin Younts carry 0-5. Runs against (166) have outpaced their own scoring (53) in the team totals. Collectively they are swinging 0.468 on the year. Their five most recent posted finals read 0 wins and 5 losses. They are on a 5-game skid in games that finished. In the AL, Robin Younts sit 8th at 4.0 games back.

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

Not a real line; just a fan read.
