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 6-4. Offense has edged defense in the totals—202 runs for versus 162 against. Collectively they are swinging 0.558 on the year. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 4 wins and 1 losses. Winners of 4 in a row with a score on the board. In the AL picture, Jorge Bells slot in 3rd at 1.5 games back.

Kirk Gibsons show 2-8. They have scored 146 runs while allowing 196, so opponents have plated more against them than they have pushed across themselves. Collectively they are swinging 0.485 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 NL, Kirk Gibsons sit 6th at 8.0 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.
