Prop Bets: Chicago Cubs VS New York Yankees 2025-07-13
Cubs vs. Yankees: A Tale of Two Lefties (and a SportsLine Model That’s Never Wrong)
The New York Yankees (-166) are favored to continue their dominance over the Chicago Cubs in this interleague clash, though they’ll need to survive a lefty-on-lefty showdown between Max Fried (2.27 ERA) and Matthew Boyd (2.52 ERA). The SportsLine model isn’t just confident—it’s arrogant, projecting the Yankees with over 60% win odds. Translation: If you bet the Cubs, you’re either a masochist or a Pete Crow-Armstrong fan.
Why the Yankees Win:
- Fried’s ERA is so low, it’s practically a personal injury lawyer.
- The total is set at 8 runs, but with these pitchers, we’re talking “Under” in a tuxedo (FanDuel has it at -115).
Why the Cubs Might Shock Us:
- Crow-Armstrong’s “total bases over 0.5” prop is -235. That’s not a prop—it’s a guarantee. Bet the farm on this kid.
Props to Wager On:
- Pete Crow-Armstrong Total Bases Over 0.5 (-235): If he doesn’t get at least a single, the sun will probably go dark.
- Aaron Judge HR Over 0.5: At +126, it’s basically a free bet. Judge’s got 30 HRs in him if you whisper nicely.
- Over 8.5 Runs (-115):** Don’t. Just don’t.
Final Score Prediction:
Yankees 4, Cubs 2. Because even in a low-scoring duel, the Yankees’ “we’ve got more money” offense prevails.
Disclaimer: This prediction is 63% certain based on implied odds. The other 37% is just me guessing.
