A pair of inept offenses meet in the Bay area. Oakland is on a 6-1-1 run under the total with an offense ranked 28th in runs scored, 29th in slugging and on-base percentage, plus a miserable team batting average of .215. The UNDER is 15-6-1 in the Athletics last 22 interleague games and 5-1-1 UNDER the total in Bartolo Colon's last seven starts. He's walked just 8 in 56+ innings. The UNDER is 20-5-1 in the Athletics last 26 games against a right-handed starter and they face San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum, who has 48 Ks in 43+ innings. He's also 5-1 with a 1.38 ERA against Oakland and the UNDER is 6-2-1 in his last nine starts against the American League West. In fact, the UNDER is 34-16-6 in the Giants last 56 vs. the American League West and 40-11-4 UNDER the total in their last 55 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. And when these teams meet, the UNDER is 45-22-4 in the last 71 meetings, including 4-1-1 UNDER the total when Lincecum start against the Athletics. Play the Athletics/Giants UNDER the total.
