Giants at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, A’s 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-178) are worth playing behind Snell, if you’re a little more on the conservative side.

Snell has racked up a 2-0 record with a 1.27 ERA, just 6 H allowed, 7 BB and 30 K across 21 1/3 IP in 3 starts in August, including a no-hitter in Cincinnati on Aug. 2.

The toothless A’s (+150) offense will have tremendous difficulty trying to solve the red-hot veteran.

Run line/Against the spread

The A’S +1.5 (-111) are worth a play if you can’t play Oakland straight up, and you’d like a little bit of insurance.

While the Giants are a good play behind Snell, San Francisco might have some difficulty against the southpaw Sears. The Giants are just 18-23 this season against left-handed starting pitchers.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-120) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play.

While the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the A’s, the Under is 7-4 across the previous 11 outings, and 3-0 against the Giants this season.

For the Giants, the Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 outings, with the San Francisco offense scratching out just 18 runs in the past 7 games, or 2.6 RPG.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The A’s beat the New York Mets in 2 of 3 in their last series, winning the series finale 7-6 Thursday. They closed as an underdog of +160 or longer in each. Oakland has won 4 of its last 5 and beat the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox in 2 of 3 in both of its series prior. It is 65-57 against the spread (ATS) this season. The A’s are 29-30 at home.

The Giants, who are 26-35 on the road, lost 3 of 4 to the Atlanta Braves at home in their last series. They did come out on top in the final game 6-0. Despite losing 4 of their last 5 games, the Giants have won 6 of their last 11. They are 58-65 ATS on the season.

Giants at A’s projected starters

RHP Hayden Birdsong vs. RHP Osvaldo Bido

Birdsong (3-2, 5.40 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 through 36 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in a 5-4 home loss to the Detroit Tigers Sunday

Giants at A’s odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:40 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Giants -124 (bet $124 to win $100) | A’s +106 (bet $100 to win $106)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Giants -1.5 (+136) | A’s +1.5 (-162)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

A’s 5, Giants 4

Moneyline

BET A’S (+106).

Oakland has performed well in Bido’s last 2 starts. Despite going 1-1, it has allowed a total of 3 runs. That should bode well for it as it has picked up its batting as of late, scoring at least 7 runs in 3 of its last 4 games. The A’s have won 4 of their last 5, all of which were on the road.

The Giants are on the flip side of that and have struggled lately. They have lost Birdsong’s last 2 starts and have scored 3 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games. Couple those trends and back the home side. Take A’S (+106).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The A’s are a better value on the moneyline than as a far more expensive run-line underdog. The Giants, given Birdsong’s performances over the last few games, aren’t worth a play as a run-line favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-105).

The Giants have allowed a whopping 17 runs in the last 3 games and have gone Over in 2 of their last 5. They are 64-56-3 O/U on the season, so they have trended Over for most of the year. San Francisco has gone Over in Birdsong’s last 2 starts as well.

The A’s, who have been hot offensively, have gone Over in 4 straight games, scoring 25 runs in their last 4 and allowing 23 in those games. Considering those trends, back OVER 8 (-105).
