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

Auston Matthews to have over 1.5 points and the Toronto Maple Leafs to win – Boosted from +210 to +230 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Auston Matthews to record over 1.5 points and the Toronto Maple Leafs will need to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the 1st round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Matthews has 8 points through 6 games in this series. He does have 2 games with at least 2 points as well. With this being a win or go home game, expect Matthews to be at his best. He scored 60 goals in the regular season for a reason and will likely need at least a couple points tonight if the Maple Leafs are going to advance. Our experts do like the Maple Leafs to win this game tonight and finally end the dominance that has been the Lightning over the last 2 years. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth backing.

Connor Joe to record 1+ hits and the Colorado Rockies to win – Boosted from -105 to +110 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Connor Joe to record at least 1 hit and the Colorado Rockies will need to beat the Kansas City Royals. Joe has been excellent this season, posting an average of .291 so far. He has 34 hits already this season and has recorded 12 hits over his last 9 games. He also has at least 1 hit in 7 straight games. Our experts would lean towards the Rockies on the run line, so backing them just to win plus another hit from Joe is worth a play.

New York Yankees, Houston Astros, and Los Angeles Dodgers All to Win  – Boosted from +300 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 3 MLB teams to win their games tonight. That being the New York Yankees against the Chicago White Sox, the Houston Astros against the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Philadelphia Phillies. Our experts are confident in a Yankees’ win tonight and even like them on the run line. We would also lean towards the Astros, who are riding an impressive win streak and also have the edge in starting pitching. As for the Dodgers, they are almost always a decent look with how strong their lineup is from top to bottom. The Phillies have already won the first 2 games of this series, but Julio Urias will be on the mound for the Dodgers and should be able to lead them to a bounce-back win. For that reason, backing this parlay is worth a play.
