Davenport River Bandits vs Peoria Chiefs — Sep 5, 2026
September 5 · 8:05 PM EDT
What to look for
River Bandits and Chiefs both enter with identical L10 records and contrasting trajectories. The Bandits hold the pitching edge with Tanner Jones taking the hill. River Bandits sit at 68-56 while the Chiefs come in at 62-66, and we see the Bandits' advantage in the pitching matchup: Tanner Jones carries a 4.58 ERA and 1.33 WHIP against Jack Martinez's 5.46 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.
- Recent form cuts against the Bandits, though. River Bandits have dropped 2 of their last contests, while the Chiefs have won 2 straight, so the Chiefs arrive with momentum despite the weaker overall record. The Bandits can't afford to get cold early.
- Derlin Figueroa leads the Bandits' pop with 26 home runs against Jalin Flores' 17 for the Chiefs, giving River Bandits a power edge. Ramon Ramirez leads the Bandits' lineup at .283, while Flores carries .255 for the Chiefs, so the Bandits have the better all-around offensive foundation to build on.
