Teams — Los Angeles brings a .771 OPS, 572 runs, a .262 average, and a staff 3.64 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP. The Dodgers are 5-5 over their last 10, but the season-long profile shows the more productive offense and the cleaner overall pitching indicators.

The Cubs are 6-4 in their last 10, and their run production is nearly even with Los Angeles, though the underlying staff numbers trail.
