Randy’s Pick

The Chicago Cubs should get a confidence boost after yesterday's victory, and Justin Steele has been an all star pitcher this season with his 2.43 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Adrian Houser has held his own as well, but he hasn't been on the level of Steele. I have to side with the Cubs in this spot behind an all star, and I'll lay the RL to shave down the price.
