Randy’s Pick
Taijuan Walker isn't the type of pitcher I'm eager to get behind, but the Phillies are at home and their talented offense is heating up. The Detroit Tigers didn't announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I'm not sure if it matters given that the offense is coming up short. The Tigers' offense isn't scoring at all. Give me the Phillies, as their offense is hot.
