Randy’s Pick

This pitching matchup could go either way, and I expect some offense in this contest. With that said, the Arizona Diamondbacks have been in a bit of a funk lately, while the Mets are probably enjoying their best week of the season. Last night's win only adds to that confidence. You have to like the value of the Mets and the plus money given this recent play. Give me the road dog.
