We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which happen to be from DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and PointsBet Sportsbook today. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Joey Gallo to hit a home run – Boosted to +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook
Joey Gallo might have switched teams, but his power is still there. The Yankees will face the Marlins tonight and even though they look to have a decent pitcher on the mound in Zack Thompson, backing Gallo’s power in his first game as a Yankee is worth a small play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
Red Sox vs Rays: Over 2.5 strikeouts in the 1st inning – Boosted to +270 with DraftKings Sportsbook
After dismantling the Yankees yesterday, the Rays will continue to chase down the Red Sox with a huge series starting tonight. Neither of these starting pitchers inspire too much confidence and both sides has some solid bats at the top of their lineup. For that reason, this may be an odds boost best to avoid. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
Mets to score 5+ runs & win – Boosted to +185 with DraftKings Sportsbook
The Mets were fortunate to get out of the series with the Braves having dropped only one game in the NL East. Now they travel to Cincinnati where they will again look to build their division lead. Though Carlos Carrasco will be making his season debut and that could spell trouble. Not that Reds’ starter, Sonny Gray has been great this year, but the Mets scored 5 runs just once in the series with the Braves, so staying away from this prop looks to be the best play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
Cubs vs Nationals: Each team to record at least 1 hit in the 1st inning – Boosted to +170 with DraftKings Sportsbook
Both of these lineups are hurting right now, but with two suspect pitchers on the mound, this might be worth a play. The Nationals still have Juan Soto due up in the first inning, while the Cubs have Kris Bryant. Therefore, it is not too much to ask for each side to record a hit in the opening frame, making this prop worth a small play. Be sure to check out all our MLB picks for today’s action.
Jrue Holiday to score over 14.5 points – Boosted to +190 with DraftKings Sportsbook
Team USA responded nicely to their loss against France at the Olympics with a massive blowout win against Iran. Jrue Holiday is averaging 13 points in two games at the Games, so asking him to score 15 points against the Czech Republic is more than reasonable in what should be another big win.

Phillies, Blue Jays & Dodgers all to win – Boosted to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook
Looking for three teams to win tonight and our experts like all the teams involved. We love the Phillies to beat the Pirates, like the Blue Jays to easily handle the Royals and the Dodgers are playing the Diamondbacks, who continue to show they are not a threat to anyone. For that reason, this looks to be a parlay worth playing. Be sure to check out all our MLB picks for today’s action.
New York Mets to lead after 3 innings vs Cincinnati – Boosted to +120 with FanDuel Sportsbook
This is an interesting prop because I think Carlos Carrasco could have some success through the lineup the first time around. We have not seen Carrasco in a while, which should give him a slight edge early on. Also, note that the Mets had a 1-0 lead after 3 innings yesterday in what ended up being a 6-3 loss to Atlanta, so this looks to be a prop worth a small play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
Damian Lillard to score 20+ points and the USA to win – Boosted to +135 with PointsBet Sportsbook
A 120-66 win over Iran got Team USA back on track, but they will have to follow that up when they play the Czech Republic on Saturday morning. Damian Lillard poured in 21 points against Iran and is now averaging 16 points in two games. The USA have plenty of scorers, but in what should be another blowout, asking Lillard to score 20+ points is very reasonable. I expect plenty of guys on this team to have a good game, and will back this prop as a small play. Be sure to check out all our coverage for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
