Prediction
Giants 7, Athletics 5
Moneyline (ML)
The A’s are favored for the win at -121. They have won three in a row while the GIANTS (+110) have lost three straight. The pitching matchup favors the Giants today and the last two games have been one-run affairs. San Francisco salvages this game in the series. Take the GIANTS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Oakland is given a basic one-run spread against the Giants at -1 (+100). The Giants are 11-11 against the run line and the A’s are slightly worse at 10-11. Since we like the Giants to win outright, it makes sense to take GIANTS +1 (-121).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 9.5 runs with -110 odds on both the Over and the Under. The first two games of the series both went well over that total (13 and 15 runs in the first two games). The Giants have the second-highest Over percentage in the league at 61.1% and the A’s go Over more often than not. Take the OVER 9.5 RUNS (-110).
