Oakland Athletics vs. San Francisco Giants
Wednesday, July 31, 2024 – 09:45 PM ET at Oracle Park
The AI Model projects the Giants to add a 4.8-3.4 win over the Athletics tonight. While the -220 on the Giants isn’t pretty, it’s valuable, especially since the model has the Giants winning by more than a run.
San Francisco Has Enough Power
The Athletics will start Ross Stripling for tonight’s game. He’s a right-hander who has struggled more against right-handed bats over the last month.
Stripling has allowed a .331 wOBA but has also earned just 7.1% of strikeouts against righties since returning to the diamond from an injury. Meanwhile, the Giants have three righties in the projected lineup that have hit for a high ISO against righties over the last month.
That’ll be enough to do damage against the Athletics and Stripling.
Blanked By Webb
The Oakland Athletics have performed well against righties over the last month. But that success will likely dip with a game against Logan Webb coming up.
Webb has held his last 105 batters to a .140 ISO. He’s also earned 55.3% of ground balls and has limited walks to 8.6%.
Oakland won’t have the success San Francisco will have tonight.
The Pick
Let’s take the Giants at -220. The odds are high, but so is the win probability, according to the AI Model.
