Prop Bets: Tampa Bay Rays VS Boston Red Sox 2025-07-10
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox: A Comedy of Errors or a Carnival of Runs?
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for a July 10 clash that’s less “epic rivalry” and more “why are we still watching this?” The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox are set to face off with starting pitchers Walker Buehler (6.25 ERA) and Taj Bradley (7.00 ERA) — a duo that’s like hiring two leaky faucets to guard your wine cellar. Together, they’ve turned the AL East into a batting cage, and the OVER 9.0 runs line is practically a free bet.
Why the OVER?
Let’s be real: Buehler and Bradley are the human equivalents of a sieve. The Red Sox are 8th in the AL in runs scored this season, and the Rays? They’re not exactly the Tampa Bay Tea Kettle (they do boil, but not in a good way). With both teams’ lineups thriving against right-handed pitching (hello, Caminero!), the OVER is a no-brainer. The implied total here is 9.5 runs — and that’s being conservative.
Prop Bets to Steal Your Wallet:
1. Junior Caminero, 2B (Rays): The 22-year-old Rays prodigy is a prop goldmine. At +300 for a double, he’s a lock to eclipse 1.5 hits. His .330 ISO (isolated power) and -280 odds on RBI Over 1.5 make him a must-play. Caminero’s already thrived vs. RHPs this year — Buehler’s his personal piñata.
2. Trevor Story, 3B (Red Sox): At -125 for Over 1.5 RBIs, Story’s a safe bet to drive in runs. His .345 OBP vs. LHPs (Bradley’s a lefty) means he’ll likely be Boston’s offensive spark.
3. Team Over/Under 9.0 Runs: At even money, this is a gift. Buehler’s 5.75 ERA and Bradley’s 6.83 ERA? They’re not here to pitch; they’re here to apologize.
The Verdict:
This game isn’t a contest — it’s a fireworks show. Grab the OVER, stack Caminero’s doubles, and enjoy the spectacle of two teams out to prove that “struggling” is a relative term. And if you’re feeling spicy, throw in a Boston -1.5 run line (-140) for the “fun” of it.
Final Score Prediction: Rays 6, Red Sox 5 (in 12 innings, because why not?).
Note: No pitchers were harmed in the making of this prediction. Probably. 🎤⚾
