Randy’s Pick

The Rangers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and Dallas Keuchel has fallen off a cliff these last few seasons and has just 18 innings under his belt this year. I get it. However, the Twins are a division leader, and you don’t get them at these prices often. Also, the Rangers have been on the struggle bus these last few weeks, winning just 3 games since August 16. No, thanks. I’ll take my chances with the Twins and the big plus money.
