Randy’s Pick

The San Francisco Giants entered the break ice-cold offensively, and Ross Stripling hasn't been all that through 41 innings this season. The Pittsburgh Pirates have picked up offensively these last few weeks, and Rich Hill has had his moments this season, and he's still missing bats at a decent clip. We're getting the home team at plus money and the team that's playing better right now. Give me the Pirates.
