Randy’s Pick
Like I said before, the Cincinnati Reds have some pep in their step with some of their recent wins and the addition of Elly De La Cruz. The Reds are playing like a confident bunch. Also, Hunter Greene has simply been the better pitcher this season and he has higher upside. Adam Wainwright has pitched just 31.2 innings, but he's showing his age and no longer scares anybody. Plus money, I'll gladly take the Reds in this spot.
