San Francisco Giants vs Oakland Athletics Prediction: Giants to comfortably even the series

Oracle Park will be the venue for game 2 of an MLB series between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. The A’s secured a win in the opener. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

The San Francisco Giants will focus on securing a win after a slow start to this series. In the opener, this team scored just two runs, their fewest in their last eight games. However, their prior series to this saw the San Francisco Giants secure a sweeping win in a four-game encounter against the Colorado Rockies. Heading into this series, the San Francisco Giants have a 53-56 record, leaving them seated 11th in the American League.

Oakland Athletics won the opener of this series 2-5, and they can only look to extend that run. In the meantime, their prior series to this saw this team play the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, and the Philadelphia Phillies, winning each encounter. In the MLB this season, Oakland Athletics have a 45-64 record, leaving them seated 14th in the American League.

The two teams have not shown top performances in overall season encounters. However, their recent series showed that these two teams can be scary in their best days. However, the San Francisco Giants are home favorites in this game 2, and I do not expect them to slack. While the Oakland Athletics scored five runs in the opener, I can’t see them being weak offensively. Yet, I believe that this game could be a revenge-like encounter, a win for the Giants with a good margin.
