Prop Bets: New York Mets VS Cincinnati Reds 2025-09-06
Mets vs. Reds: A High-Scoring Laugher with Props to Spare
The New York Mets (-129) are here to flex their 9th-ranked offense against the Cincinnati Reds, who’ve somehow managed to hit only 138 home runs all season (24th). Jonah Tong starts for the Mets, while Brady Singer (3.52 ERA) toes the rubber for the Reds. With both teams’ offenses firing on cylinders—the Mets average 4.8 runs/game and the Reds’ pitchers have a 3.95 ERA—it’s time to bet the OVER 8.5 (-115) like your job depends on it.
Why the Over?
Because the Mets’ Juan Soto (37 HRs, 91 RBI) and Pete Alonso (.333 in his last 13 games) are here to literally hit the cover off the ball. The Reds’ Elly De La Cruz (19 HRs, 78 RBI) isn’t far behind. With the Mets’ 66-66-8 OVER record and the Reds’ 54-83-5 UNDER, this is a classic “pitcher’s duel? What pitcher?” scenario.
Prop Bets to Steal (Like De La Cruz Might)
- Pete Alonso: Over 2.5 hits (+110). He’s hitting .333 in his last 13 games with 5 HRs. Bet him like he’s the next Mike Trout.
- Juan Soto: Over 0.5 HRs (-220). He’s already hit 37 this year. The line’s basically a participation trophy.
- Elly De La Cruz: Over 0.5 SB (+235). He’s stolen 20 bases already. Let’s see him leg out a 0.5 steal.
The Verdict
The Mets (75-65) are 57-42 when favored, and the Reds (70-70) are 36-34 as underdogs. With Tong’s 3.61 ERA vs. Singer’s 3.52 ERA, this is a toss-up… but the OVER is the only way to go.
Final Score Prediction: Mets 7, Reds 6 (because even a 13-game losing streak can’t stop the comedy of errors).
And remember: If Alonso hits a triple, immediately buy a lottery ticket. Coincidence? Never. 🎰⚾
