Prop Bets: New York Mets VS Pittsburgh Pirates 2025-06-27
Humorous Prediction: The Mets "Out-Pirate" the Pirates in a 9-Run Fireworks Show
The New York Mets (48-34) and Pittsburgh Pirates (32-50) clash in a game that’s as mismatched as a Pirate’s treasure map to a Mets fan’s hopes for 2024. With David Peterson (2.98 ERA) toeing the rubber for the Mets and Mitch Keller (4.02 ERA)… well, toeing the line between survival and shame for Pittsburgh, this one’s a no-brainer.
Why the Mets Win:
- David Peterson (5-3, 2.98 ERA) will pitch like he’s trying to make the Pirates forget their own lineup. His 4.5-strikeout prop (-164) is a lock—Keller (4.02 ERA, 1-10 record) will strike out 4.5 batters (-110), which is exactly how many fans will remain in the stands after this disaster.
- The Mets’ bats? They’ll hit Over 8.5 runs (1.85) while laughing at the Pirates’ offense. Juan Soto (+450 to hit >0.5 HR) and Pete Alonso (+390) will moonlight as HR entertainers, while the Pirates’ “home run” hopes will be a single typo in the box score.
Why the Pirates Lose:
- Mitch Keller’s 4.02 ERA isn’t just bad—it’s a math error. His 4.5-strikeout line (-110) is as likely as a Pirate winning a land race.
- The Pirates’ “total bases” prop? Let’s just say their 2025 season is a case study in why “total futility” is a real thing.
Prop Bets to Steal (Literally):
- Francisco Lindor (-280) will steal a base. No, really, he’s -280 to steal one. The odds say it’s inevitable.
- Oneil Cruz’s 0.5 HR prop (+500) is a Hail Mary—like betting a pigeon can fly to the moon.
Final Score Prediction:
New York Mets 9, Pittsburgh Pirates 3
Because the Pirates’ “total” runs (-1.5) are about as reliable as a broken umbrella in a hurricane.
Key Takeaway:
If you’re betting on the Pirates, you’re either a masochist or a fan of poetic justice. The Mets, meanwhile, are just here to make you feel old.
And remember: Always bet on the team that doesn’t look like they’re already packing for the minors. 🎲⚾
