We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from PointsBet Sportsbook today. We will discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Charlie Blackmon to record 1+ RBI and the Colorado Rockies to win – Boosted from +215 to +400 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Charlie Blackmon to record at least 1 RBI tonight against the Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies will need to win the game. Blackmon is off to a decent start this season, batting .262 with 4 home runs and 10 RBIs. He recorded 2 RBIs in the 4-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, a series where the Rockies were swept. Friday’s matchup should be much more advantageous for the Rockies and Blackmon, seeing that they will be facing a poor Reds team. Hunter Greene will take the mound for the Reds, but his ERA of 5.27 is a concern, so we should see the Rockies tee off. Our experts like the Rockies on the run line in the series opener, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play as Blackmon is likely to take advantage of a poor Reds’ pitching staff.

Ja Morant to score 30+ points and the Memphis Grizzlies to win – Boosted from +260 to +330 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Ja Morant to score at least 30 points tonight and the Memphis Grizzlies will need to win Game 6 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Morant had another big game in Game 5 of this series to put his team in a position to clinch the series. Morant is now averaging 22.4 points per game, but has scored at least 30 points in 2 of the 5 games played. He did struggle in the previous 2 road games, averaging 13.5 points in Minnesota. However, we should expect a much better game here, especially if the Grizzlies want to avoid a Game 7. Our experts like the Grizzlies to win and move on to the 2nd round, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Manchester City to score at least 3 goals vs Leeds United and Aston Villa vs Norwich City to have at least 3 total goals – Boosted from +240 to +275 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will take place on Saturday morning in the English Premier League. We will need Manchester City to score at least 3 goals against Leeds United and there will need to be at least 3 total goals in the match between Aston Villa and Norwich City. Manchester City are in good form at the moment and are coming off a mid-week Champions League game against Real Madrid where the scored 4 goals. They only lead Liverpool by 1 point in the table too, so this league game on Saturday will be big in their chase for the title. City has scored 80 goals in EPL this season, an average of 2.42 goals per game. Even still, they are facing a Leeds team that has had problems at the back all season, so 3 goals for City should be easy.

The other game we need will be much trickier as Aston Villa and Norwich are not high goal scoring teams. The reverse fixture ended 2-0 to Villa, but 5 of their last 7 games have featured at least 3 goals, and 5 of the 7 games for Norwich City have done the same. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play on Saturday morning.
