Brett Anderson is 10-7 with a 3.99 ERA this season and 6-2 with a 3.45 ERA on the road. Madison Bumgarner is 7-7 with a 3.74 ERA this season and 4-2 with a 3.08 ERA at home. The Giants are worse at home at 28-32 and only 8-6 as the home favorite. The Athletics have the fifth highest OPS in the league against lefties while the Giants have the second worst. I don’t think losing the DH will hinder the As as much as expected, take the value in the As.
My projections see major value Tuesday on Oakland as a slight underdog against San Francisco in this interleague battle of Bay Area clubs vying for wild-card position. I've got the A's winning this matchup in 63 percent of simulations. Oakland has won seven consecutive road starts by Brett Anderson and is on a 4-1 run in this rivalry. The Giants are 1-5 in the last six interleague starts by Madison Bumgarner.
