The Athletics' offense is 15th in on-base percentage and last in steals. Luis Severino comes off a bad outing against the best offense in the AL, the Yankees. But he's been very good overall, especially on the road, where he has a 0.95 ERA holding the home teams to a .206 average. However, the team is outscored by 59 runs, the third-worst in the AL. The Athletics are on a 2-7 slide and play their fifth straight on the road. The San Francisco offense is 16th in on-base percentage and 23rd in steals. Starter Landen Roupp throws well at home (3.72 ERA), and the Giants have the No. 1 relief pitching in the majors (2.66 ERA). The Giants are 14-7 at home, so back home field in a defensive duel. Play the Giants and UNDER the total.
