Charlie Wright’s Giants vs Athletics Preview, Picks
Jacob Lopez scuffled last time out, but he's in a great spot to bounce back against San Francisco tonight.
Lopez draws a matchup against a Giants' offense that ranks bottom-five in OPS and wOBA against lefties since the start of May.
The Giants have the 5th-highest strikeout rate in the league, which certainly bodes well for Lopez.
In his brief MLB action this season, Lopez has a K/9 rate up near 11. He also has a solid 12% SwStr% and a CSW% above 28%.
Lopez had 6+ strikeouts in four starts last month. He has a good shot to continue that trend today for the Athletics.
