No earlier finals pit them against each other yet this year—the head-to-head ledger starts with this one.

Robin Younts bring a record of 0-4. Runs against (108) have outpaced their own scoring (51) in the team totals. Collectively they are swinging 0.483 on the year. Their five most recent posted finals read 0 wins and 4 losses. They have dropped 4 finals in a row. In the AL, Robin Younts sit 8th at 3.0 games back.

Derek Jeters post 1-2. They have scored 52 runs while allowing 87, so opponents have plated more against them than they have pushed across themselves. As a club they are hitting 0.532. Their five most recent posted finals read 1 wins and 2 losses. Their last game with a result went in the win column. In the AL, Derek Jeters sit 6th at 1.5 games back.

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

Not a real line; just a fan read.
