Randy’s Pick

The Dodgers aren't having a great week with losses in 4 of their last 5 games and the Marlins have caught fire with 5 straight wins as they're back in the wild card race. The Marlins' offense is feeling good last night after hitting several home runs. Lance Lynn hasn't been good this season with a 5.81 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, and he has 53 walks in 150 innings. JT Chargois has just 33.1 innings under his belt, but he's held his own with a 3.78 ERA and 1.23 WHIP and 26 strikeouts. These games mean more to the Marlins these days as well. I'll grab the plus money.
