Randy’s Pick

The Rangers plus money in this spot is strange when you consider they still have to win to guarantee an AL West title. Yes, the Rangers celebrated yesterday after clinching a spot, but they had to know there's still work to do in this spot. George Kirby and being at home makes the Mariners worth a look, but they also have to be disappointed after falling short of the postseason. Give me the more favorable price with the team that's still playing for something.
