Randy’s Pick

We're getting plus money with the Marlins at home and the more desperate team as they're fighting for their playoff lives. The Brewers clinched the division title last night, so there could be a bit of a hangover on a quick turnaround… Literally. Jesus Luzardo has also been good this season with a 3.68 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and averaging 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings. I'll take a stab with the Marlins and the more favorable price.
