Randy’s Pick

The Blue Jays are getting the benefit of the doubt, I guess because they’re at home. However, the Orioles remain the most profitable team in the sport, and we’re getting plus money with them. No team has earned more money for bettors than the O’s. Also, I’m not backing Hyun Jin Ryu, who has been recovering from Tommy John surgery and hasn’t pitched since June 1 of last year. Kyle Bradish has also been solid with his 3.29 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. Hard to turn down the Orioles at this price.
