Oakland at San Francisco

The San Francisco Giants have put together a mini-dynasty as they have claimed the World Series in three of the last five years. The Giants headliners have mostly been about pitching, but they came off a 5-1 road trip, and thrashed the A's with 17 hits in a rather easy 9-3 win in the series opener. They go with Madison Bumgarner in Game 2, and he is off perhaps the best World Series performance of the last few decades, and all that did was fuel expectations for this season. His numbers are glistening at 10-5 with a 3.27 ERA on the season, and with the Giant's bats heating up, they are in a very healthy spot in this one. The A's have faltered miserably on the road vs. a left-handed starter at 6-20 in their last 26. Make the play on San Francisco.
