Randy’s Pick

The Baltimore Orioles have gotten hot again offensively and are no pushover when the bats are going, but I can't get behind Cole Irvin and his 6.32 ERA through 31.1 innings. Bailey Ober has a 2.70 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 76.2 innings. Also, the Twins offense has picked up this week, which is a positive sign. Cheap prices both ways, give me the Twins at home with the better pitcher.
