- At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Athletics over the San Francisco Giants. It would have been hard to predict just how good the Athletics would be at this point in the season -- and just how bad the Giants would be. Most people would have assumed -- back in Spring Training -- that it would be the A's who would be 19-27 and the Giants who would be 23-22, when in fact the opposite is true. Southpaw Jeffrey Springs will get his 10th start of the season this afternoon. The 33-year-old is having a surprisingly strong season so far, with a 3-3 record and 4.22 ERA with 44 strikeouts and 14 walks in 49 innings. While it's true he's pitched better on the road than in the Sacramento band-box, Springs has been able to limit the damage here at the A's temporary home. Springs has only had one career start vs. San Francisco but it was a good one as he went 6 2/3 innings against the Giants last season, allowing one run on two hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Take the A's. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
