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

Las Vegas Aces -11.5, Aces/Dream Over 170 total points and Fever/Sparks Over 163.5 Total Points – Boosted from +350 to +425 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need the Las Vegas Aces to cover -11.5 against the Atlanta Dream, there will need to be over 170 total points in that game and there will need to be over 163.5 total points in the game between the Indiana Fever and the Los Angeles Sparks. Las Vegas is one of the better teams in the WNBA, as shown by their 18-7 record this season. In their last 5 head to head games with the Dream, they are 5-0 straight up and have won 3 of these games by at least 12 points. Two of these games went well over the 170 mark as well with another game ending in a push.

As for the Sparks and Fever, they are both playing to the over this season, going a combined 29-21-1 this season. Their last 2 head to head games have reached at least 164 points as well, so for that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

0 Total Runs Scored in the 1st Inning and the American League to Win All Star Game – Boosted from +210 to +300 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need their to be no runs scored in the first inning and the American League will need to win the game. Our experts already love the over in this game tonight, but if there was going to be an inning where no runs where score, the first inning would likely be that inning. Reason being that both leagues will have their respective “ace” on the mound. That being Shane McClanahan for the American League and Clayton Kershaw for the National League. McClanahan has an ERA of 1.71, while Kershaw has an ERA of 2.13. Not to mention that Kershaw is pitching in his own ballpark, which should make things that much easier. We do like the National League to win as a lean, but this prop could still be worth a small play because this is a game that could go either way.

Shohei Ohtani or Ronald Acuna Jr. to Record a Hit in Their First Plate Appearance – Boosted from +110 to +160 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Shohei Ohtani or Ronald Acuna Jr. to record a hit in their first plate appearance tonight in the All Star game. This is tough because Ohtani does not face Clayton Kershaw much, while Acuna Jr. does not face Shane McClanahan. Still, both of these guys are amongst the top young stars in the league and it would not be surprising for either of these starters to give up a lead-off hit. It seems more likely that Ohtani will be the one to start the game with a hit, but Acuna Jr. could just as well do the same, therefore because we are getting two options, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
