Jefferies owns an impressive 1.17 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP through his first three starts but is just 1-2 due to poor run support.

Carlos Rodon pitched five shutout innings with eight strikeouts in a 5-2 win over the New York Mets last Wednesday. Rodon is off to an excellent start with his new club, recording a 2-0 record with a 1.06 ERA, a 0.82 WHIP and 29 strikeouts in 17 innings pitched across three starts with the Giants.

Oakland’s Offense Has Struggled With Jed Lowrie Out

Cole Irvin and the Athletics bullpen combined to pitch a shutout in Sunday’s 2-0 win over the Texas Rangers. Stephen Piscotty hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning to provide the team’s only offense of the day.

Oakland scored only three total runs in its three-game series against the Rangers and is averaging only 1.67 runs per game over its last six games. Jed Lowrie’s absence due to COVID-19 quarantine has likely contributed to this slump at the plate. Despite their underwhelming performances on offense, the Athletics are still 4-3 over their last seven games.

San Francisco Hasn’t Dropped Off From Last Season

Baseball fans and experts were expecting the Giants to regress from their incredible 107-55 season last year. That drop-off hasn’t happened yet as the team is off to a 12-5 start fueled by this current four-game winning streak.

San Francisco ranks third in MLB in runs scored with 4.88 per game and second with a team ERA of 2.42. Early signs point to another tight race between the Giants and the Dodgers for the NL West crown. Bettors taking San Francisco as their Athletics vs Giants prediction will be looking for this current hot streak to continue on Tuesday.

Athletics vs Giants Pick & Insights

Athletics: Keys To Victory

Daulton Jefferies has given the Athletics three great starts to open the 2022 season. With Oakland’s offense struggling and an elite pitcher in Rodon on the mound for the Giants, any chance of an Athletics vs Giants prediction upset likely comes down to Jefferies being dominant and Oakland scratching out a run or two to win.

Giants: Keys To Victory

The Giants have looked dominant in every facet of the game recently, outscoring their opponents 28-8 over the team’s current four-game winning streak. If San Francisco continues to hit and pitch at this level against Oakland, the Giants should make for a solid Athletics vs Giants pick on Tuesday and Wednesday as well.
