The San Francisco Giants, who are continuously showing over and over again why they are being pitted as one of the best teams to watch out for throughout the season, especially when speaking about playoff and title contention aspirations will be playing host to their neighbors and in state rivals from the AL, the Oakland Athletics in the first of a short, two game series starting tonight in ‘Frisco. While for the home team Giants LHP Carlos Rodón will be looking to collect his third win of the season, the A’s will be sending RHP Daulton Jefferies who at 1-2 for the season, would really love to make it 2-2 instead of 1-3 tonigh
Game Preview
The fact that the Giants are not leaders of their division yet speaks volumes of how tight and competitive the NL West is and will surely continue to be all season long. Only half a game separates San Francisco from the first place LA Dodgers, which shows that when the time comes, if these two teams were to meet in the deeps of the postseason, it will definitely be a series worth binge watching. But for now, let’s focus on the present.
The Giants are coming into this small two-game interleague series against the A’s riding on a strong four-game winning streak, also having won five of their last six games, and by the looks of the team’s stats, while their offense has been doing good to very good thus far, it is their pitching formation that is putting everyone not only in the NL but in MLB itself on notice.
So, who better to start tonight than the team’s leader not only in ERA with a 1.06 for the season but also in strikeouts with 29, Carlos Rodón? Rodón has proven that he can be that ace that the Giants always want to have around and it seems like the A’s will not have it easy whatsoever against a Giants team that can hit, can field but above all can pitch like there’s no tomorrow.
Oakland on the other hand will be coming into this game after securing a 2-0 win over the Rangers this Sunday that allowed them to avoid a series sweep against the last team in their division. With a 9-8 record for the season, the A’s still look like a team that with some talent and a bit of luck could be looking at moving up to second and even first place in their divisional standings. But for that to happen a win against San Francisco tonight will be pivotal, which is why pitcher Daulton Jefferies and the A’s offense need to play some very good and nonchalant baseball tonight.
