Randy’s Pick
The Boston Red Sox didn't list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I don't care. I've been fading the A's all season and will continue to do so. The A's are losing at a record clip, and it's them and the Royals who are losing bettors more money than any team in baseball. I'll continue to bet against the Athletics until it stops working. Give me the Red Sox.
