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

Pete Roses sit at 3-1. They have scored 96 runs while allowing 46, so they have outscored opponents on the year. Collectively they are swinging 0.557 on the year. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 3 wins and 1 losses. They are riding a 3-game win streak. In the NL, Pete Roses sit 3rd at 0.5 games back.

Cecil Fielders carry 3-0. Run differential is in the black: 76 plated against 38 allowed over the season. As a club they are hitting 0.632. In five-score games going back from today, they are 3 wins and 0 losses. Winners of 3 in a row with a score on the board. In the AL, Cecil Fielders sit 1st at 0.0 games back.

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

Not a real line; just a fan read.
