Randy’s Pick

You could argue the Padres have the pitching edge with Blake Snell on the mound, but then you realize they’re 4-10 this season when he pitches. The bottom line here is the San Francisco Giants are riding a 10 game winning streak and the offense is crushing during this stretch. It’s just something I’m not excited to jump in front of right now as the confidence is rolling. Give me the Giants and the cheap price.
