We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which happen to be from DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbooks, BetMGM Sportsbook, and Caesars Sportsbook today. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Trea Turner or Justin Turner to hit a home run – Boosted to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Los Angeles Dodgers absolutely destroyed the New York Mets on Sunday night. This was a game that ended 14-4 and saw the Dodgers homer 5 times, with one of those home runs coming from one of the players in question tonight, Justin Turner. He has been showing some tremendous power as of late and there is reason to believe that could happen tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Trea Turner on the other hand, is not normally known for his power, but still can send one deep in the right circumstances. Having two great hitters for the Dodgers to bank on makes me believe this is worth a small play.

Angels vs Yankees: A home run to be hit in the 1st inning – Boosted to +245 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Here we’re looking for power in the 1st inning, though that might not be wise with these starting pitchers. The Angels will start Jose Suarez and he has been decent with an ERA of 3.90. On the other side, the Yankees will start Gerrit Cole in his return. He is sometimes home-run prone, but with this being his first time back in awhile, I think he will coast through at least an inning. The Yankees’ lineup is certainly scary at the top, but this is still a play I would look to avoid.

Any player to record a triple in Mets vs Giants – Boosted to +300 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Mets just got finished with the Dodgers and have to now play what looks to be an even better team in the Giants. Playing in San Francisco will present opportunities for a triple, which is what we are looking for tonight. However, both starting pitchers in this game have been pretty solid, so backing this prop looks to be best avoided.

White Sox to hit 3+ home runs – Boosted to +280 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Tonight we will be looking for a ton of power from one of the AL’s best teams. The White Sox have been showing that as of late, but have a formidable opponent tonight. Frankie Montas will start for the Athletics and he has showed enough this season for me to believe he can keep this ball inside the park. For that reason, this is a prop I would look to stay away from.

Braves to win and over 5.5 total runs – Boosted to +140 with BetMGM Sportsbook

The Braves have been on a tear, sweeping the Nationals over the weekend. Thanks in part to their resurgent offense, which has scored an average of 8.25 runs over their last 5 games. They are 4-1 in these games and all 5 have gone over 5.5 runs. For that reason, look for the Braves to keep rolling, making this prop worth a play.

Yankees, Rays & Astros all to win – Boosted to +300 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Here we will need three teams to win their games, and our experts have confidence in two of them, the Yankees (vs Angels) and the Rays (vs Orioles). We like both of these teams enough to play them on the run line. As for the Astros, they will be playing the Royals. We actually like the Royals on the run line (+1.5), but an Astros win is still likely. For that reason, this parlay is worth a shot.

Aaron Judge to hit a home run and the Yankees win – Boosted to +325 with Caesars Sportsbook

Going back to the Yankees game, we are going to need Aaron Judge to hit a home run and for the Yankees to win. We already like them to win comfortably, which means they will need to win by at least 2 runs. Judge homered the other day against the White Sox, so facing an average Angels pitcher should give him a chance to do the same tonight. For that reason, this looks to be worth a small play.

Reds, Padres and Mets all to win – Boosted to +600 with Caesars Sportsbook

Another three-team parlay here and our experts do not like all the teams involved. We only like the Reds in this spot as they are playing the lowly Chicago Cubs. The Padres will be playing the Rockies and the Mets will be playing the Giants. We like the Giants and Rockies in those games, so avoiding this parlay looks to be the best option.

Kansas City Chiefs to go 17-0 – Boosted to +4000 with Caesars Sportsbook

With the NFL season rapidly approaching, there is always the discussion of whether a team might go undefeated. This prop involves just that and will be for the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though they went 14-2 in the regular season last year, it is still hard to believe they will not make a mistake along the way. Unlike College Football, these are all professional athletes and all it takes is an injury for a loss to occur. For that reason, this looks to be a play best to avoid because there are too many factors that could lead to a loss. Though if I had to pick for any team to go undefeated, it probably would be the Chiefs.
