Randy’s Pick

Trevor Williams has been respectable this season, but the Nats aren't scoring runs, and that's an issue against a team like the Braves. Bryce Elder has been ridiculous through 71.2 innings with his 2.26 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. The Braves are also scoring runs consistently. I can only get behind the Braves, and I'll take the RL as well to shave the price.
