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

Kirk Gibsons come in at 2-3. They have scored 79 runs while allowing 104, so opponents have plated more against them than they have pushed across themselves. Collectively they are swinging 0.545 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 4th at 3.0 games back.

Randy Johnsons carry 0-5. They are underwater on the run chart—103 allowed next to 52 driven in. Their posted team clip sits at 0.435. In five-score games going back from today, they are 0 wins and 5 losses. They are on a 5-game skid in games that finished. Standings-wise, Randy Johnsons are 8th in the NL, 5.0 out of first.

What we expect: Kirk Gibsons enter with the stronger résumé; Randy Johnsons are live if the bats wake up, but the likelier path is Kirk Gibsons dictating innings and finishing in front.

For fun only—not a betting line.
