They have not crossed paths in a posted game this season, so the first box score between them is still to be written.

John Kruks come in at 15-1. They have scored 414 runs while allowing 191, so they have outscored opponents on the year. As a club they are hitting 0.602. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 4 wins and 1 losses. They lost their last finished game. In the NL, John Kruks sit 1st at 0.0 games back.

Cecil Fielders carry 11-5. Run differential is in the black: 323 plated against 202 allowed over the season. As a club they are hitting 0.556. In five-score games going back from today, they are 4 wins and 1 losses. They have taken 4 straight finals. In the AL, Cecil Fielders sit 2nd at 1.0 games back.

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

For fun only—not a betting line.
