Take # 977 Oakland A’s –125 over San Francisco Giants. (Saturday, June 14, 9:05 pm EST).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

<o></o>
The A's are among the American League's top teams and should roll tonight against a Giant team that struggles at home. San Francisco has lost 10 of its last 12 at home, where it is a major league-worst 13-20. In addition, Oakland has won six of its last seven games against San Francisco, posting a 1.83 ERA in that span. The Giants have scored just one run in their last 30 innings against the Athletics—all at home—after a 5-1 loss on Friday. <o></o>
<o></o>
Tonight's starter for Oakland is Rich Harden (3-0, 2.85 ERA). The right-hander has been excellent in his starts in this Bay Area rivalry, going 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA in three starts. Matt Cain gets the call for the Giants tonight and his numbers pale in comparison to those of Harden. Cain (3-4, 4.43) will be out to stop a five-game inter-league losing streak. He’s 0-5 with a 5.26 ERA in his last six outings against the AL. In all due respect to the Giants, if Benji Molina is your clean-up hitter, your going to have trouble scoring runs. Take the A's to make it two straight over the Giants.<o></o>
