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

Barry Bondses come in at 7-9. They have scored 290 runs while allowing 273, so they have outscored opponents on the year. Collectively they are swinging 0.534 on the year. In five-score games going back from today, they are 1 wins and 4 losses. They lost their last finished game. Standings-wise, Barry Bondses are 4th in the NL, 8.0 out of first.

Ken Griffey Jrs show 11-5. Run differential is in the black: 280 plated against 241 allowed over the season. As a club they are hitting 0.544. Across their last five games with a final score, they are 3 wins and 2 losses. They lost their last finished game. Standings-wise, Ken Griffey Jrs are 3rd in the AL, 1.0 out of first.

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

Not a real line; just a fan read.
