Randy’s Pick

I’ve faded the Oakland Athletics all year and that won’t stop now, but I also don’t have the courage to back the New York Yankees. Instead, I’m looking at the under, with both of these teams finding scoring runs as difficult as pulling teeth. Maybe this big park helps the hitters to break out of their slumps, but I need to see it first. These offenses are horrible right now. Give me the under.
