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 2-3. Offense has edged defense in the totals—99 runs for versus 90 against. Collectively they are swinging 0.550 on the year. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 2 wins and 3 losses. They have lost 3 straight finals with a score on the board. In the AL picture, Jorge Bells slot in 5th at 2.5 games back.

Derek Jeters post 2-4. They have scored 100 runs while allowing 146, so opponents have plated more against them than they have pushed across themselves. As a club they are hitting 0.500. 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 AL, Derek Jeters sit 7th at 3.0 games back.

What we expect: Jorge Bells enter with the stronger résumé; Derek Jeters are live if the bats wake up, but the likelier path is Jorge Bells dictating innings and finishing in front.

For fun only—not a betting line.
