Randy’s Pick

The Minnesota Twins have the pitching edge as Joe Ryan has been great this season with his 3.42 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, but it doesn't matter. The Twins had the edge yesterday with Sonny Gray, and they still lost. The Twins have no offense to speak of, and it's why they're sitting at a .500 record at the all star break. I have a hard time getting behind the Twins and getting burned a lot. Give me the O's and the slightly cheaper price.
