Randy’s Pick
The St. Louis Cardinals continue to have issues scoring runs, and it makes them hard to back, especially on the road. The Texas Rangers are one of the best offenses in the league, and Jon Gray is pitching like an all star with his 2.51 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. This is a complete mismatch in my eyes, and you can argue the price should be steeper. Give me the Rangers.
