The San Francisco Giants are on a rare 2-game losing streak after falling to the Oakland Athletics last night, 4-1, at the Coliseum. Today they meet again in a matinée and the Giants are expected to have their ace, Kevin Gausman, on the hill. Gausman has been throwing flames. Over his last 3 starts, he is 3-0 with a 2.81 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. Just the opposite can be said for the Athletics expected starter, lefty Sean Manaea. Over his last 3 starts, Manaea has imploded, going 0-2 with an ERA of 12.27 (that is not a typo) and a 2.18 WHIP. The Giants usually bounce back following a loss and I expect them to do just that today.
