Prop Bets: Seattle Mariners VS New York Yankees 2025-07-08
Yankees vs. Mariners: A Tale of Two Lineups (and Why Your Grandma Shouldnât Bet on the Underdog)
The New York Yankees (-128) stride into Yankee Stadium like they own the place (which, fair), while the Seattle Mariners (+128) arrive with the determination of a man who just realized he left his keys in the fridge. Letâs break this down with the precision of a scout whoâs seen every swing and a miss.
The Numbers That Wonât Lie
- Yankees: Third in MLB scoring (5.1 R/G). Their lineup is so deep, even the seventh batter could win the NL batting title in his sleep.
- Mariners: 13th in runs (4.5 R/G), but theyâve pulled off 14 upsets as underdogs this season. Thatâs about as reliable as a broken clockâsometimes it works, sometimes it tries to eat your face.
Implied Probabilities (Because Math, Not Hope)
- Yankeesâ -128 implied win probability: 56.5%. Not quite âinvincible,â but close enough for government work.
- Marinersâ +128: 43.5%. Still a shot! If youâre into âlong shots and existential crises.â
Player Props to Worry About
- Aaron Judge (Yankees): Over/Under 2.5 hits at +210. Bet âOverâ if you believe in miracles; âUnderâ if youâve seen Judgeâs swing mechanics (spoiler: itâs solid).
- Julio Rodriguez (Mariners): Over/Under 1.5 HRs at -250. The kidâs got power, but facing the Yankeesâ bullpen? Itâs like bringing a spoon to a gunfight.
- Total Runs: Over/Under 9.0 at even money. With these lineups, expect a feast (or a very confused waiter).
The Verdict
The Yankees should win, but donât be surprised if the Mariners pull a âweâre-just-here-for-the-experienceâ upset. Bet the Yankees (-1.5 runs) if you want safety; the Mariners (+1.5) if you thrive on heartburn. And for Godâs sake, avoid the âJazz Chisholm Jr. hits a tripleâ prop. Itâs a money sinkhole.
Final Score Prediction: Yankees 6, Mariners 3. Because Judge will go 3-for-5 with an RBI double, and the Mariners will wonder where their bullpen went. đŻâžď¸
