Athletics vs Giants Prediction

The Giants won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last six. Still, I am backing the Athletics in this one because I don’t trust Hayden Birdsong, who allowed multiple runs in each of the last five starts and registered a 6.38 ERA in June. Jacob Lopez, on the other hand, registered an excellent 2.64 ERA in June and had even three shutouts in his previous five starts. Lopez is the biggest reason I am favoring the A’s in this game.
