Prop Bets: Cleveland Guardians VS Chicago White Sox 2025-07-10
Alright, folks, let’s dive into this Guardians vs. White Sox clash with the humor of a man who’s seen a 0.222 batting average and immediately assumes both teams are playing Baseball: The Musical (which, honestly, might be the only way to make sense of this).
The Setup:
The Cleveland Guardians (-136) are favored to beat the Chicago White Sox (+114), and honestly, it’s less of a game and more of a “who can throw the ball into the stratosphere” contest. Both teams have the batting averages of a sleep-deprived toddler—.224 for Cleveland, .222 for Chicago. If this were a Tinder profile, it’d say, “I’m into low expectations and higher hopes.”
Why the Guardians Win:
- Logan Allen (Cleveland’s starter) has a 3.99 ERA, which is “respectable” if you’re a pitcher in a league where the average is 4.50.
- The Guardians win 70% of the time when -136 or shorter, per the news. That’s like a 70% chance of your Netflix recommendation being decent.
- The White Sox’s .222 BA is so low, even Jonathan Cannon’s ERA (4.15) might feel bad for them.
Why the White Sox Might Survive:
- Chicago’s underdog wins at +114 (implied probability: 47.17%) are about as likely as a coherent explanation for why you ordered a salad but ate the croutons first.
- Their bats? Well, they’re technically alive, but don’t expect fireworks.
Prop Bets to Waste Your Money On:
1. Steven Kwan Over 0.5 Doubles (+380): If you need a doubles date, Kwan’s your guy. The odds are better than finding a parking spot at a baseball game.
2. Jose Ramirez Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110): Ramirez’s -110 line is a coin flip, but with the drama of a reality TV finale.
3. Jonathan Cannon Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-110): If Cannon strikes out fewer than 3.5 batters, it’ll be the most shocking thing since your ex still hasn’t texted back.
Final Verdict:
The Guardians win 5-3 in a game that’ll take twice as long as it should because both pitchers are out to prove they’re not the worst. Bet the under on total bases (8.5) because neither team’s offense is a bases-loaded party. And if you’re feeling spicy, take Steven Kwan’s doubles over 0.5—because why not? It’s 380:1, which is basically a free lottery ticket if you’re into that vibe.
Final Score Prediction: Cleveland 5, Chicago 2. (The real winner? Whoever invented sunscreen, because this game will make you squint.)
