Aaron Goldhammer Wagers CLE Prop Bets

We're pining for the day sports gambling is legal in Cleveland, so we dreamt up some bets with the ESPN Cleveland host.

There’s no better buzz than having a little action on the game. Oh, come on. Super Bowl squares? Fantasy football? We’ve all done it. Now, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in May, we’re wagering that legalized sports betting could soon be headed our way. So we asked ESPN 850’s Aaron Goldhammer to handicap a few prop bets on our sporting lives.

Next Cleveland champion
Indians +150
Cavs +675
Browns +1000
Goldhammer’s Take: Indians. “By a country mile. They’re the best run organization, and the pieces are there with the best pitcher and infield in the [American League].”

Hue Jackson coaches a Browns playoff game
Yes +600
No -100
Goldhammer’s Take: No. “Based on the way things started for him, this would make an amazing documentary film.”

Number of Baker Mayfield starts in 2018
Over (4.5) -100
Under (4.5) +100
Goldhammer’s Take: Over. “I’ve seen too many Browns seasons. We’re averaging three QBs a year.”

Number of passes Corey Coleman drops in 2018
Over (7) -250
Under (7) +100
Goldhammer’s Take: Under. “I’m not sure he gets seven targets.”

Months until Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger gets a haircut
Over (3) -1000
Under (3) +8000
Goldhammer’s Take: Over. “I don’t see him cutting that dome any time soon.”

Times Corey Kluber gets caught smiling on TV this year
Over (5) +405
Under (5) -300
Goldhammer’s Take: Under. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen that guy laugh.”

LeBron James buys the Cavaliers
Yes +250
No -100
Goldhammer’s Take: Yes. “It feels like the right end to this story.”

Aaron Goldhammer eats feces, as promised if the Cleveland Browns drafted Baker Mayfield.
Yes +300
No -100
Goldhammer's Take: Yes. “Numerous doctors tell me this is a horrible idea, but I will have consumed some sort of fecal matter before the start of the Browns regular season. Where, when, how — you’ve gotta tune in to the Really Big Show for that.”
