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.

Paul Goldschmidt to get 2+ hits and the St. Louis Cardinals to win – Boosted from +320 to +375 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Paul Goldschmidt to record at least 2 hits and the St. Louis Cardinals will need to beat the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. Goldschmidt is batting .334 on the season, which is the 2nd best batting average in the league. He has recorded at least 1 hit in his last 6 games and at least 1 hit in 9 of his last 10 games. During this stretch, he has also had 4 games where he had at least 2 hits. Goldschmidt was only 1 for 4 in the series opener with the Nationals last night, but has a favorable matchup tonight against Erick Fedde. He is 0 for 2 against Fedde in his career, but simply put, Fedde has been poor this season and the Nationals’ bullpen has been just as bad. Our experts are fairly confident in a Cardinals win tonight based on the fact that the Nationals are the worst team in the entire league. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Brandon Moreno and Derrick Lewis to Each Win by Either KO/TKO or On Points at UFC 277 – Boosted from +280 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Brandon Moreno and Derrick Lewis to both win by KO/TKO or Points at UFC 277 tonight. Moreno will be facing Kai Kara-France for the interim flyweight title, while Lewis will be facing Sergei Pavlovich earlier on the Main Card. Our experts do like the fight between Moreno and Kara-France to go the distance and because Moreno won the first fight between them on points, we do believe he could do so again. However, Lewis is getting up there in age and has shown some vulnerabilities with getting knocked out. Pavlovich has also proven to have a ton of power, therefore avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

Amanda Nunes to Win by KO/TKO vs Julianna Pena at UFC 277 – Boosted from +125 to +175 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Amanda Nunes to be Julianna Pena by KO/TKO at UFC 277 tonight. This will be a fight for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight title and a rematch from December of 2021. Pena beat Nunes in the first meeting to take her belt and also beat her by submission. Nunes is unlikely to make the same mistake, which is why we like her to win this fight. She has 13 wins by KO/TKO in her career, therefore backing this prop should be considered a small play.
