Randy’s Pick

Don’t look now, but the Padres have won 5 straight games and find themselves somewhat in the NL wild card race again. Still a bit of a long shot but still… The Rockies are the worst team in the NL, and there’s no reason to think they can find the motivation to get the job done. Ryan Feltner hasn’t been good, with a 5.86 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. Blake Snell is a CY Young candidate with a 2.43 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. The Padres should win a sixth straight game. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
