MLB Odds: Giants-Athletics prediction, odds and pick

The Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants are playing a two-game series. The Giants were swept by the Dodgers, while the A's are on a winning streak.

The Giants are third in the NL West with a record of 51-55. They are 22.0 games behind the Dodgers. Carlos Rodon is starting for the Giants tonight. He's been pitching well with 9-6 record and a 3.00 ERA.

The A's are last in the AL West with a record of 41-66. They are 28.5 games behind the Astros. Adam Oller is starting on the mound for the A’s tonight. He's pitching a 1-4 record with 7.68 ERA.

The Giants are in a freefall since the All-Star break. The A's are still in the vast. I like the A’s odds because they are often overlooked. They don't have the roster or pitching to compete with most of the other teams, but they do like to upset them when they can.
