INTERLEAGUE TOTAL OF THE MONTH! 15-3 MLB RUN!
(MLB) San Francisco vs. Oakland,
Total: 8.00 | -104.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Giants are 7-3 in their L10 but it isn't the offense that is winning games for them. At .210 BA/.624 they are 30th in the league in OPS over the last two weeks and have scored four or less runs in nine of ten games. The A's are somewhat better at .231/.693, but have trouble scoring as well, with 3 or less runs in their last five games. Medina starts for Oakland. The rookie has improved dramatically this season and is off 3 fine starts, allowing just 3 runs total in 15+ innings. He struck out 27 batters while cutting down on free passes in July. Cobb likely starts for the Giants. He blanked the A's in late July and finished the month with a 2.42 ERA. The two teams are averaging 2.9 and 3.9 runs a game over their last seven, making a total look very promising. The one issue is the A's bullpen, which has not been very dependable this season, but did show well yesterday. I am wagering on continued poor offense from both teams and taking the Under today.
