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

Vladimir Guerreros come in at 6-0. Run differential is in the black: 126 plated against 59 allowed over the season. Collectively they are swinging 0.500 on the year. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 5 wins and 0 losses. Winners of 6 in a row with a score on the board. In the NL, Vladimir Guerreros sit 1st at 0.0 games back.

Pete Roses post 4-2. They have scored 132 runs while allowing 76, so they have outscored opponents on the year. Collectively they are swinging 0.552 on the year. 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, Pete Roses sit 3rd at 2.0 games back.

What we expect: Vladimir Guerreros 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 Vladimir Guerreros look like the steadier bet to control the pace.

Not a real line; just a fan read.
