Athletics vs Giants Prediction
The Giants have gone ice-cold over the last month, but this feels like a spot where things turn around. Webb is an all-star with a 2.61 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, and he’s allowed 34 hits and 10 runs in his last 40.1 innings. Webb isn’t as good on the road as he is at home, but he’s still respectable, where he has a 3.81 ERA and .246 allowed batting average. Severino has a 5.09 ERA on the season, and he’s allowed 44 hits and 28 earned runs in his last 32.2 innings. The Giants should hit Severino hard in this spot. Give me the Giants.
