Betting Context
Betting context since 2002
How this pairing has settled: run margins, totals and break-even prices derived from its historical record. These are final-score frequencies, not results against a closing line. We do not hold historical sportsbook prices for these games.
Small sample: 29 decided meetings, under the 50 we treat as the floor for a stable rate. Read the figures below as description, not a forecast. Interleague pairs meet in short bursts, so a single series can move any percentage here by several points.
One-run games
41.4%
Share of the 29 decided meetings settled by exactly one run.
Won by 2 or more
58.6%
A 2+ run margin crosses 1.5, but this is not a historical line result. Average gap: 3.1.
Average total
8.4runs
Final-score average without accounting for park, bullpen or weather.
Home side wins
48.3%
Share of decided meetings won by the listed home team.
Totals ladder
Where the combined score landed against the half-run lines a book normally posts. Half runs cannot push, so every meeting falls on one side.
| Line | Over | Under | Over rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5Closest to even | 16 | 13 | 55.2% |
| 8.5 | 13 | 16 | 44.8% |
| 9.5 | 8 | 21 | 27.6% |
Fair price from the base rate

A base rate is not a forecast. Starting pitchers, lineups, injuries and venue all matter more to a single game than a multi-season head-to-head record.
