Prop Bets: Toronto Blue Jays VS Oakland Athletics 2025-07-13
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Oakland Athletics: A One-Sided Slapstick Special (July 13, 2025)
The Verdict: The Toronto Blue Jays (-152) are about to make the Oakland Athletics feel like they’re playing baseball against a wall that’s also a math major. With Kevin Gausman on the mound and Ernie Clement’s lefty-mashing magic (.396 vs. LHP, 1.074 OPS), this is the night the Jays (-1.5) stomp on the A’s 28% underdog curse like it’s a stepstool.
Why It’s a Lock:
- Jacob Lopez’s Career vs. Jays: 15.43 ERA in 2 starts. That’s not a number—it’s a middle finger to Oakland’s hopes.
- Ernie Clement: 15 extra-base hits vs. lefties this year. He’ll treat Lopez like a piñata stuffed with RBIs.
- Blue Jays’ Batting Average (.259) vs. Athletics’ Strikeouts (8.6/game): The A’s will swing and miss so hard, they’ll need a chiropractor and a change of venue.
Player Props to Cash Like a Pro:
- Ernie Clement Over 0.5 Hits (-147): He’s a southpaw terminator. Take it.
- Davis Schneider Over 0.5 Hits (-147): 2-for-2 vs. Lopez, .821 OPS vs. LHP. He’s not just a prospect; he’s a one-man wrecking crew.
- George Springer Over 0.5 Runs (+120): His .432 OBP in July? That’s runs scored before breakfast.
Odds Breakdown (Implied Probabilities):
- Blue Jays ML (-152): 60.5% implied win chance. Bookmakers aren’t just betting—they’re begging you to fade the A’s.
- Total (10.5): Even money. The Over’s juice is a mirage; this game’s scoring more like a “meh.”
Final Jeer: The Athletics (2.18 implied ML odds) are the reason underdog bets exist. Take the Blue Jays like they’re your last exit on a highway of despair. And if you’re feeling spicy, throw in Clement’s hits prop. He’s not just a player—he’s a math problem Oakland can’t solve.
Prediction: Toronto 5, Oakland 2. The A’s will strike out so often, they’ll start a support group. 🐐⚾
