Randy’s Pick

As Ive said time and time again this year, I'm not in the business of backing the Oakland Athletics, a team that's losing at a record clip and can't string together offense. The Seattle Mariners have been on a roll lately, their offense is hot, and Logan Gilbert continues to settle in as a young pitcher. No reason the M's shouldn't win this game, and I'll take the RL to shave the price.
