Randy’s Pick
Dinelson Lamet has been god awful through 21.2 innings, and he’s going up against arguably the most talented lineup in baseball that’s downright rolling right now. Jared Shuster has had struggles as well, but he has a hot offense to back him up. Hard to like the Rockies in this game, so give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
