Prop Bets: Seattle Mariners VS Philadelphia Phillies 2025-08-19
Phillies vs. Mariners: A Home Run Derby or a "Total" Disaster?
The Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners are set to collide in a game that’s less a baseball match and more of a home run auction. With Cal Raleigh (47 HRs) and Kyle Schwarber (43 HRs) leading the league’s long-ball race, this game feels like the final episode of The Great HR Heist—except the only thing being stolen is your breath when these guys launch moonshots.
The Moneyline: The Phillies are a slight -104 favorite, which means you’d need a magnifying glass to spot the difference between this game and a coin flip. But let’s be real: Philly’s chances hinge on Schwarber not striking out more often than a door in a haunted house. His +215 odds to go deep are as tempting as a last-minute birthday cake.
The Total: The over/under is set at 8 runs. Given that Raleigh’s got more HRs than a summer blockbuster movie sequel, and the Phillies’ park is as hitter-friendly as a buffet for a food critic, this game might blow the total out of the park. Imagine: 8 runs? Please, we’re here for 12.
Player Props:
- Cal Raleigh (+320 to HR): The Mariners’ slugger needs just one more HR to clinch the title. If he doesn’t go yard, he’ll be more frustrated than a vegan at a BBQ.
- Kyle Schwarber (+215): Philly’s "Wall of Power" (aka their outfield) might crumble if Schwarber starts jousting with fastballs.
- Bryce Harper (+255): He’s here to remind everyone he’s still human, but let’s not @ him.
The Verdict: This game is a choose-your-own-adventure novel. Pick "Over 8 runs" if you enjoy fireworks, or "Under" if you prefer a snoozefest. But if you’re betting on props, back Raleigh and Schwarber to go yard—it’s the only way this rivalry makes sense.
Final Prediction: The Phillies win 6-5 in 10 innings, but not before Schwarber and Raleigh combine for 3 HRs, making the "Total" line look like a rookie’s guess. Buckle up—this one’s a slop fest of power and pride.
