San Francisco at Oakland

San Francisco is 13-9 against left-handed starters, plus 21-14 after batting .200 or worse over a three-game stretch. They are also 60-51 away from home revenging a shutout loss to an opponent. It's a short road trip for them, staying in the Bay Area, and they wind up the series here against a banged-up Oakland squad. The A's are still without two of their biggest bats in third baseman Matt Chapman and outfielder Stephen Piscotty. Starter Mike Minor (1-5, 5.40 ERA) is favored but has not thrown well, winless at home with a 5.09 ERA. Also, the Giants are 7-3 on the road after two or more consecutive losses. Play San Francisco.
