Randy’s Pick

The San Francisco Giants are on such a roll at the moment that I’m not eager to step in front of them, especially after last night. The confidence is building in the Bay. The San Diego Padres continue to run hot and cold, and Seth Lugo will pitch for the first time in over a month after suffering a calf injury. Pick ’em price, I’ll ride the hot hand and back the Giants at home.
