Athletics vs. San Francisco Giants betting picks and predictions
Athletics ML (+105)
Our top pick for this game between the Athletics and the Giants targets the A's to win. They enter this game with a record of 38-40 and are currently in second place in the AL West division.
After splitting a four-game series with Los Angeles Angels this past weekend and an off-day on Monday, the Athletics are scheduled to start Aaron Civale, who has a record of 5-3 on the season and an ERA of 4.91.
He has been serviceable on the road, with an ERA of 3.19 over starts, having allowed 11 earned runs over 31.0 innings.
As for the Giants, they enter this game with a record of 31-46 and are currently in fourth place in the NL West division.
San Francisco is coming off a weekend series where they were swept by Miami Marlins and, after also having an off-day on Monday, start Robbie Ray in Game 1 of this series.
So far this season, Ray has a record of 5-6 and an ERA of 4.07. He has been a bit more consistent at home, having posted an ERA of 3.55 over seven starts, having allowed 15 earned runs across 28.0 innings.
What makes the Athletics stand out as the best betting option in this game is their offense. They rank 10th in the league in runs per game, while the Giants rank 23rd in the same category.
On top of that, Civale has been strong enough on the road this season to suggest he can shut down what has been an inconsistent Giants' offense.
For that reason, backing the Athletics to win at +105 is our best bet.
Shea Langeliers to hit a home run (+350)
Our favorite player prop for this game is for the A's' Shea Langeliers to hit a home run. He is hitting .271 on the season, but more importantly, is tied for the most home runs on the Athletics with 19.
He has particularly been effective on the road this season, having hit 10 of his 19 home runs this season in those situations.
Further, Langeliers has hit seven of his 19 home runs against left-handed pitching, which is what he will face in this game against Ray and the Giants.
Langeliers has failed to hit a home run over the last few games, but given he is in a favorable situation on Tuesday, backing him to hit one in Game 1 of this series is our play.
