San Francisco Giants vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

The San Francisco Giants can’t afford to blow Games like this if they’re trying to stay in the playoff race, and Logan Webb is usually good at Oracle Park. With that said, the Athletics have been hot offensively over the last couple of weeks, and I will say Ross Stripling is a better pitcher than what the numbers this season indicate. The Giants should obviously be favored, but you can do worse by taking a shot in the dark with the Athletics and a chance to make two times your money.
