Randy’s Pick

The Washington Nationals have the pitching edge with Gore on the mound, but the Marlins are the better team and playing the better ball right now. Edward Cabrera has struggled with control, but he has talent, and it’s only a matter of time before things turnaround. The fish are playing better ball. Give me the Marlins and the RL for max betting value.
