Randy’s Pick

The Kansas City Royals are back in this funk where they can’t string together any offense, and it makes them hard to back most nights. Being on the road doesn’t help. The Miami Marlins have picked things up offensively over the last couple of weeks and the confidence should be building as they’re currently in a wild card spot but also gaining ground on the Braves for an NL East crown. The Marlins may not be half bad? I’ll lay the price with the fish at home for a fourth straight win.
