Randy’s Pick

The Red Sox look like a team that's given up on the season and is just ready for things to end. I doubt things change with Tanner Houck and his 5.31 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. The Orioles keep winning despite wrapping up the division, and Kyle Bradish has been strong with a 2.86 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Bradish has a 2.29 ERA and .204 allowed batting average at home. Give me the O's to win 102 games for the first time since 1979.
