Randy’s Pick

I’m not in the business of backing the Rockies, and that doesn’t change here on the road with Chase Anderson and his 5.98 ERA. The Giants need to start stacking wins if they’re going to stay in the wild card race, and these home games against the worst team in the NL are gifts if we’re being honest. There’s no excuse for the Giants in this spot. Give me the Giants and the RL for max betting value.
