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

Giancarlo Stanton to record 2+ hits and the New York Yankees to win – Boosted from +261 to +300 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs Giancarlo Stanton to record at least 2 hits and the New York Yankees to beat the Chicago White Sox tonight. Stanton is having a great start to the season, batting .296 with 40 hits in 35 games. He has 12 multi-hit games this season, including 5 in his last 8 games. Stanton has yet to have a multi-hit game against the White Sox in 4 games, but will look to break through with Dallas Keuchel on the mound. The Yankees lost last night to the Baltimore Orioles on a walkoff, but our experts like them to bounce back strongly tonight with a win, therefore backing this prop is well worth a play for Friday.

Luka Doncic to score 30+ points and Dallas Mavericks – Boosted from +290 to +325 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Luka Doncic to score at least 30 points and for the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals tonight. The Mavericks were crushed in Game 1 and while this might not be a must-win game, it is a game in which they need to be more competitive. Doncic managed to score only 20 points in Game 1 and shot 33.3% from the field. Those numbers are likely not going to be repeated given how good Doncic has been this postseason, so he should give his team a chance to win. He also has 6 games of 30+ points in the postseason.

Our experts like the Mavericks to cover tonight after that blowout loss, but if Doncic has a huge game as we know he can, they will have a chance to even the series. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Bryce Harper to record 2+ hits and Philadelphia Phillies to win – Boosted from +644 to +725 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs Bryce Harper to record at least 2 hits and the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Harper is dealing with an injury and was on the bench last night, but could return to the lineup as the DH. He has 40 hits this season in 34 games. He also has 11 multi-hit games this season, including 7 in his last 10 games and 3 last weekend against the Dodgers. Even with an injury to his elbow, this prop looks to be worth a small play if he plays at DH.
