Randy’s Pick

We’re getting a cheap price with the better, more consistent team in the Tampa Bay Rays. Also, Taj Bradley has been better than Tanner Houck this season, even with the smaller sample size. Houck has been a mess through 52.2 innings with his 5.30 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, and a lot of his biggest struggles have come at home. Give me the Rays.
