Prop Bets: Oakland Athletics VS Cleveland Guardians 2025-07-20
Prediction for Guardians vs. Athletics (July 20, 2025):
The Cleveland Guardians (-150) will stomp the Oakland Athletics (+130) 6-2, because math. Why? Because the Guardians have a 22-14 record as favorites, while the Athletics’ 8.2 K/9 staff is a "K"lub that can’t hold leads (their 8.2 K/9 is 21st in MLB, but their ERA? Let’s just say it’s not in the top 21).
Key Stats to Note:
- Jose Ramirez (.298 BA) will likely out-hustle the Athletics’ Jacob Wilson (.326 BA) in the box score.
- Gavin Williams (Guardians’ starter) has a 5.5 K/9 implied prop at -140 odds—because nothing says "confidence" like striking out half the A’s lineup.
- The Athletics’ pitching staff has an ERA so high, it’s basically a red flag for "don’t bet on this team."
Prop Pick of the Game:
Over 1.5 RBIs for Jose Ramirez (-145). Why? Because when Ramirez gets hot, even the A’s defense looks like they’re playing with training wheels.
Final Score Prediction: Guardians 6, Athletics 2.
Why? Because the Guardians’ 3.94 ERA isn’t just a number—it’s a middle finger to the Athletics’ 8.2 K/9. And let’s be real: no one roots for the team that plays like they’re in a spreadsheet.
Implied Probabilities:
- Guardians ML (-150): 60%
- Athletics ML (+130): 43.5%
- Over/Under (8 runs): 50/50 (because this game’s as boring as a spreadsheet).
Verdict: Bet the Guardians to win and take the Under 8 runs. It’s the only way to make this game less cringe than the Athletics’ pitching staff.
