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.

Nathan MacKinnon to score 1+ goal and the Colorado Avalanche to win – Boosted from +140 to +165 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs Nathan MacKinnon to score at least 1 goal and for the Colorado Avalanche to win Game 2 tonight against the Nashville Predators. The Avalanche crushed the Predators in Game 1, easily winning by a score of 7-2. MacKinnon led the scoring for the Avalanche with 2 goals and will look to add to that tally tonight. Our experts also like the Avalanche to win once again in dominant fashion. Because the Predators’ defense failed to slow down the Avalanche at all, backing this prop looks to be a solid play in what should be another big win for MacKinnon and the Avs.

Francisco Lindor to record 1+ RBIs and the New York Mets to win – Boosted from +400 to +550 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Francisco Lindor to record at least 1 RBI and the New York Mets will need to win against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. Lindor is batting .243 this season, therefore is not off to the greatest of starts. He does have 15 RBIs this season, 3 of which have come against the Phillies. He also has 7 RBIs in away games this season, so if the Met can put him in a good spot tonight, we should expect him to drive in at least 1 run. Our experts do like the Phillies to win this game, though, with Aaron Nola set to take the mound. Because of our lack of faith in the Mets winning the game, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

New York Rangers, Florida Panthers & Colorado Avalanche all to win  – Boosted from +185 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 3 NHL teams to win their playoff matchups tonight: the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Florida Panthers against the Washington Capitals and the Colorado Avalanche against the Nashville Predators. The Panthers trail 1-0 in the series, but our experts like them to bounce back and even the series. The Avalanche dominated the Predators in Game 1, winning 7-2, and our experts like them to win this game by several goals to take a 2-0 lead in the series heading back to Nashville. The Rangers and Penguins had that epic Game 1 in which the Penguins won in 3OT. Bouncing back from a loss like that will be tough for New York, but our experts love the Rangers to win, so backing this parlay looks to be worth a play.
