Prop Bets: Cleveland Guardians VS San Francisco Giants 2025-06-17
Giants vs. Guardians: A Tale of Two Struggles (With More Ks Than a Keyboard)
June 18, 2025 — 1:46 AM ET
The Matchup:
The San Francisco Giants (41-31, 2nd NL West) host the Cleveland Guardians (2-10 in their last 12), who’ve stumbled like a rookie on a first date. Giants starter Robbie Ray (8-1, 2.55 ERA) faces Slade Cecconi, who’s about as reliable as a free throw from a giraffe.
The Odds (as of June 17):
- Moneyline: Giants -190 (favorite), Guardians +150
- Spread: Giants -1.5 (-110), Guardians +1.5 (-110)
- Total: 7 runs (Over: -110, Under: -110)
Player Props to Bet Your Grandma’s Wig On:
- Robbie Ray, Giants: Strikeouts (6.5, -110). Ray’s been a strikeout machine, holding Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez to 1-for-10 in past clashes. If he keeps this up, he’ll strike out more people than a bad Tinder profile.
Why the Giants Might Win:
- New World Series hero Rafael Devers debuts as a DH, bringing a bat that’s hotter than a July barbecue.
- Ray’s ERA suggests he’d rather pitch in a library than a ballpark.
Why the Guardians Might Win:
- Maybe Cecconi won’t throw 80% fastballs into the stands. Stranger things have happened.
Prediction:
The Giants win 4-2, Ray strikes out 8 (covering the prop), and the game goes Under 7 runs because Cleveland’s offense is about as loud as a whisper. Bet the Giants -1.5 if you enjoy watching favorites nap.
Final Score Prediction: Giants 4, Guardians 2.
Prop Alert: Ray Ks 8.5 (take the Over 6.5 Ks for easy cash).
Disclaimer: This game is less “thriller” and more “why did I skip the early bedtime?”
