Randy’s Pick
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on one of those heaters, and getting in front of them probably isn't a good idea. Julio Urias is also enjoying a respectable season, while Adam Wainwright is still trying to find his footing, as he's pitched just 10 innings. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Dodgers to keep this run going.
