Randy’s Pick

The Tampa Bay Rays are getting the benefit of the doubt here with Zach Eflin on the mound, as he’s been consistent all year and appears to be a much better option than Zach Davies. Eflin has a 3.35 ERA and 1.03 WHIP, while Davies has a 7.82 ERA and 1.82 WHIP. Still, the Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the hotter teams in baseball and are the most profitable team for bettors currently. Plus money at home? I’ll ignore the pitching matchup and take the Diamondbacks.
