Randy’s Pick

The San Diego Padres are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but they've been on the struggle bus this week and Blake Snell hasn't been good through 41 innings. James Paxton is still trying to get his legs under him, but he has a hot Red Sox offense backing him up. This price is nuts give the way the Red Sox are stringing together offense. Give me the road dog.
