Prop Bets: Oakland Athletics VS Boston Red Sox 2025-09-18
Prediction: Boston Red Sox to Stomp the Athletics, Unless They Trip Over Their Own Bats
The Boston Red Sox (-162) are favored to dominate the Oakland Athletics (+135) in a game that’s as lopsided as a waffle iron. With Brayan Bello on the mound and a team ERA of 3.74, the Sox’s pitching staff is about as trustworthy as a leaky faucet—wait, no, better than a leaky faucet. The A’s, meanwhile, are clinging to a 4.75 ERA like a drowning man to a life preserver.
Why Boston?
- The Red Sox average 4.9 runs per game, while the A’s muster just 4.6. It’s like the difference between a espresso shot and a lukewarm tea.
- Boston’s offense is 8th in the AL in runs (737) and 14th in home runs (177). They’ll probably hit a dinger or two, maybe three.
- The A’s? They’re 4th in HRs (211) but 27th in ERA. They’re the MLB’s version of a fireworks show that forgot to bring the sparklers.
Prop Bets to Mock:
- Brent Rooker (+423 to hit a HR): He’s got a .300 average, but hitting a home run tonight? That’s like betting a penguin will win a beach volleyball tournament.
- Trevor Story (-115 to get 2+ hits): If he goes 3-for-3, the A’s might as well pack up and go home.
- Alex Bregman (-140 to get a hit): He’s a .255 hitter, but with these odds? Take the under.
The Verdict:
The Red Sox are -1.5-point favorites, and the total is set at 9 runs. Take Boston and the under. Why? Because the A’s pitching staff is so shaky, they’ll probably underperform the total just to spite everyone.
Final Score Prediction: Boston 6, Oakland 2. The A’s will likely score 2 runs, which is exactly how many times a fan will yell, “This team’s a dumpster fire!” in the first inning.
And if Brent Rooker homers? Well, congrats, you’ve just witnessed a miracle. Now go buy a lottery ticket. 🎉⚾
