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.
One-run games
23.5%
Share of the 170 decided meetings settled by exactly one run.
Won by 2 or more
76.5%
A 2+ run margin crosses 1.5, but this is not a historical line result. Average gap: 3.9.
Average total

Final-score average without accounting for park, bullpen or weather.
Home side wins
55.3%
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.

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.
