MLB Baseball Gambling - San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland Athletics
The Athletics have dominated the Giants recently in the Battle of the Bays. The A’s have won seven straight games versus the Giants and will look to make it eight straight when they send pitcher Dana Eveland to the mound in the first of a three-game interleague series. Eveland has been so-so this season racking up a 5 and 5 record and an ERA of 3.51. He’s given up only three home-runs in 89.2 innings pitched. That should put a smile on the faces of baseball betting fans. If the Athletics give Eveland run support, he could definitely do well on Friday night.
The San Francisco Giants counter with pitcher Kevin Correia. Correia isn’t exactly the guy that the Giants probably need on the mound in order to end their losing streak to the A’s. He hasn’t pitched all that well this year. His record on the season is 1 and 5. His ERA is 5.20.
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:
San Francisco Giants
Kevin Correia – R + 1 ½ - 150 + 145 O 8 - 115
Oakland Athletics
Dana Eveland – L - 1 ½ + 130 - 165 U 8 - 105
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:
The San Francisco Giants are 4 and 1 in their last 5 games on the road versus a left-handed starter.
The San Francisco Giants are 4 and 11 in their last 15 interleague games.
The Oakland Athletics are 12 and 3 in their last 15 games as the favorite.
The Oakland Athletics are 6 and 0 in their last 6 games versus a team with a losing record.
The bottom line in this game is that the Oakland Athletics always seem to dominate their across the bay rivals. That means that the San Francisco Giants have little chance of winning this game straight-up.
