Randy’s Pick

The Dodgers are probably the safer pick, given their consistency and the fact the Mariners haven't been so hot these last couple of weeks. However, the Dodgers clinched a division title last night and celebrated, so there could be a bit of a hangover here… Literally. The Mariners also need to start winning if they're going to make the postseason this year, and Logan Gilbert has been solid with a 3.62 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Give me the Mariners for a nice bounce back home victory.
