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.

San Francisco Giants at Oakland Athletics odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s San Francisco Giants at Oakland Athletics odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Francisco Giants (78-44) and Oakland Athletics (70-53) play the second game of a three-game interleague set at Oakland Coliseum Saturday with a 4:07 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze the lines around the Giants vs. Athletics odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Giants RHP Kevin Gausman (12-5, 2.40 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 0.98 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 through 142 1/3 IP.

  • Gausman has won each of his three starts in August, posting a 3-0 record, 2.81 ERA and 20 strikeouts across 16 innings.
  • Gausman is winless in three outings vs. AL West teams including a loss against Houston July 30.

Athletics LHP Sean Manaea (8-8, 3.77 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 10.0 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 through 133 2/3 IP.

  • Manaea was tuned up for seven runs, seven hits and three homers across five innings in a loss at Texas Sunday.
  • The southpaw is 0-2 with a 12.27 ERA with 15 runs and 20 hits allowed across 11 innings in three outings in August.

Prediction

Giants 7, Athletics 3

Money line (ML)

The GIANTS (-130) are a strong play behind Gausman, who has been absolutely on fire so far in August. On the flip side, Manaea has been horrific for the Athletics (+105), and he cannot be trusted.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The GIANTS -1.5 (+130) are worth a roll of the dice on the run line, as they look to square the series after a 4-1 loss in Oakland Friday. San Francisco is not only worth a look because of the dominance of Gausman in August, but because Manaea has had difficulty lately.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 8.5 (-108) is worth a look despite Gausman being on the bump. Manaea has been a disaster in August, and the wind will be blowing out to straightaway center field at a 10-13 mph clip. That’s a great combination for Over bettors.
