Randy’s Pick

Not the best pitching matchup in the world, but the Giants are at home and are playing the better baseball, no matter how you slice it. The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to struggle to score offense, and they're just not the same team they were about a month ago. Price is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Giants in this spot.
