The Athletics are coming into this game with a 9-8 record overall and they are 5-5 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Texas Rangers 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Giants on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Cole Irvin was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Daulton Jefferies will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-2 with a 1.17 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 5 Ks on 3 hits in 6 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 3 runs in their last series averaging 1 run scored per game in that span and they allowed 10 runs against them averaging just over 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Giants are coming into this game with a 11-5 record overall and they are 4-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 3 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Washington Nationals completing the sweep 3-0, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Athletics on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Logan Webb was the starter for them on Sunday while Carlos Rodón will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Tuesday. He is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 games with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 8 strikeouts on 3 hits through 5 innings played against the New York Mets. They scored 24 runs in their last series averaging 8 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 6 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Giants are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their games recently other than a few games where they ran into two of the best teams in the MLB right now. They have still been playing very well with both their hitting and their pitching this season. They are going up against an A's team that has been alright in their games this season but they have gone very cold in their recent games as they barely scored any runs in their last series. They are still missing a lot of their players due to covid-19 but even with a healthy team here, the Giants are still way better. They also have the better pitching matchup in this game as well. The best bet here is on the Giants to win this game on the runline.

"This weekend was kind of tough offensively. We did a better job (today) of being patient and working counts. It's great to see Stephen healthy. You can see the joy in the way he's going about playing the game." - Mark Kotsay after his team’s win against the Rangers on Sunday.

 

 

"I think he set the tone for the day. I think he's picking really good pitches to go after and even when he gets deeper into counts and pitchers have velocity, he's able to catch up to that velocity." - Gabe Kapler on Joc Pederson in their win against the Nationals on Sunday.
