Kenny G gave a slight but actionable nod to the Giants at −137. Oakland has dropped four straight while scoring just 0-1-2-3 runs, and their bullpen is a bottom-three dumpster fire (5.88 ERA). Jeffrey Spriggs did spin seven strong innings at Dodger Stadium, yet Kenny doubts he survives the inevitable bridge to that relief corps. San Francisco counters with veteran Justin Verlander, 0-3 but sporting a 4.31 ERA and a run of five respectable outings, including six frames of two-run ball versus the explosive D-backs. The Giants own MLB’s best bullpen (2.66 ERA) and a 14-7 home record, giving Verlander elite late-inning support. Offensively they are middling (20th AVG, 16th OBP) but have “come up with more runs than they deserve”—good enough against an A’s unit that is suddenly quiet at the plate. Given the modest juice and the stark bullpen gap, Kenny believes San Fran is worth a Sunday ticket despite the inevitable weirdness.

JD Bets backed Logan Webb to clear his 5.5-strikeout prop against the Athletics. Webb has averaged 7.2 strikeouts per start this season and 7.8 over his last five, punching out at least six hitters in four of those outings. While Oakland ranks a respectable 11th in strikeout rate (8.17 per game), JD pointed out they still fanned six times in five innings versus Webb’s pitch-to-contact peers and nine against Minnesota last week—evidence their newfound discipline is shaky. Wind at Oracle Park will be blowing straight out at 13 mph in 59-degree air, a setup that often keeps Webb on the mound longer because runs are harder to come by. Pair that with his consistent six-inning workload and JD projects the right-hander to rack up 6–7 Ks, comfortably beating the 5.5 line.

Despite each club’s recent trend toward high-scoring games, Cash Out Sports Picks suggested betting the UNDER 7 in Athletics-Giants. He expects Logan Webb and J.P. Sears to keep bats muted for at least six frames; Webb’s 2025 ledger features just one bad outing, and Sears enters off a quality start of his own. Oracle Park suppresses homers, and both offenses rank middle-of-the-pack in slugging. While Oakland’s shaky pen could implode, the tout believes the A’s will hand the ball over with minimal damage thanks to Sears’ efficiency, and he does not see San Francisco torching them for a football score. With a tight game script and starters capable of working deep, seven runs feels a notch too high.

Cash Out Sports Picks put the Giants on the money line largely because San Francisco can still trust its relievers while Oakland cannot. Over the past 10 days the Giants bullpen sports a stingy 3.31 ERA, but the Athletics relief unit has cratered to 8.70 and just surrendered 28 runs in two games, including a 19-run disaster. While Oakland’s lineup has been sneaky potent versus right-handers (125 wRC+ over the last week and a half), it runs straight into Logan Webb, a pitcher who has held the A’s in check his entire career and owns only one clunker in 2025. San Francisco’s offense carries a 102 wRC+ against lefties during that same window and should eventually crack J.P. Sears once the third-time-through penalty arrives. With late-inning leverage tilted sharply toward the home side, the tout is happy to ride the Giants even at chalky odds.

Lonte Smith took the contrarian route, grabbing Oakland around +145 and pairing it with the Over 7.5. He trusts JP Sears’ ability to keep the ball in the yard (0.8 HR/9) and hold San Francisco’s right-heavy lineup in check for five innings. Offensively, he likes the A’s top-of-the-order matchup against Webb’s elevated hit rate (9.0 H/9) and noted that the Giants’ staff has still coughed up 4+ runs in four of the last seven. Smith highlighted Oakland’s 15-12 record as a road underdog and a lineup that ranks ninth in hard-hit percentage away from the Coliseum. Because both bullpens are average at best once you get past the closers, he envisions late fireworks and a 5-4 type upset.

Scott Reichel happily laid the Giants –1.5 at +128, hanging his hat on Logan Webb’s video-game numbers at Oracle Park. Webb has surrendered exactly ONE earned run in 20.1 home innings this season—good for a microscopic 0.44 ERA—while fanning 22 and allowing zero homers thanks to a 62% ground-ball rate. Reichel respects JP Sears’ recent form (1.93 ERA last five) but pointed out the lefty averages only 5.1 innings, thrusting an A’s bullpen with a 5.18 May ERA into high-leverage spots. San Francisco’s offense is heating up as well, batting .270 and scoring 5.3 runs per game over the last 10. With Webb likely to work into the seventh and the Giants pen owning a 2.67 home ERA, Reichel projected a 5-2 win and called the plus-money run line “a gift.”

It's The Final Round suggested Heliot Ramos as a deeper-card play. Ramos is 2-for-6 (.333) with a homer off lefty JP Sears and has collected hits in six of his last eight outings. Given Sears’ pedestrian stuff, the tout thinks Ramos’ hit prop offers plus money upside.

Kenny G leaned toward the Athletics at +144, calling it a sneaky bounce-back after getting pummeled by the Dodgers. JP Sears is 4-0 with a 2.80 ERA over his last five outings, and Oakland is 5-0 in those games. The A’s lineup is quietly top-5 in slugging and top-6 in batting average, ranking 14th in runs overall. San Francisco counters with Logan Webb (2.60 ERA), but the Giants have dropped five of six and their offense is fading to 21st in average and 17th in OBP. Even with an elite 2.68 bullpen ERA, Kenny questions whether San Francisco can supply enough run support. Oakland’s 14-8 road record suggests they travel well, and Kenny believes the plus-money tag more than compensates for a shaky 5.24 A’s bullpen.

Eric Lindquist expects Logan Webb to work deep and hit OVER 20.5 outs (seven full innings) against Oakland. Webb’s turbo-sinker generates a 59 % ground-ball rate, perfect for Oracle Park’s expansive gaps. The A’s lineup outside Jacob Wilson has the sixth-highest chase rate and limited left-hand power, meaning fewer stressful pitches for Webb. Lindquist’s model shows Webb crossing 21 outs 55 % of the time and would play the over at any plus price or down to –115.
