Randy’s Pick

The Toronto Blue Jays are finding ways to win without their offense producing, and that's good news because we know the bats will wake up eventually. However, we're getting plus money with Sonny Gray on the bump, a pitcher who is in the CY Young race right now. Gray has a 2.15 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 67 innings. I love plus money with ace caliber pitchers, and Gray has been a top 5 AL pitcher this season. Give me the Twins.
