| MLB | (979) Oakland Athletics at (980) San Francisco Giants: Total | 9:45pm EDT - Jun 23/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 8.5 (-120) Action
The Over 8.5 makes sense because both starters come in carrying volatile recent form and the run environments for these two clubs have been consistently high. Oakland road games still average 8.97 runs per game, and San Francisco home games sit at 8.67, so the baseline already leans toward offense. Robbie Ray’s overall home ERA looks fine at 3.55, but his last two starts at Oracle have blown up for 21 and 13 total runs, and his last six appearances overall have averaged a massive 17.2 runs. Aaron Civale hasn’t been any steadier — he was tagged for five runs in his last road outing, owns an 8.18 ERA over his last five starts, and his last six have averaged 10.2 runs. Even with a respectable career ERA at Oracle, the Giants have been producing 4.63 runs per game in their last 11 at home. Add in two bullpens that can’t stop the bleeding — Oakland with an 8.44 ERA over its last 10 and San Francisco at 4.66 in that same stretch — and this matchup has all the ingredients for another high‑scoring night.
