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.

Trevor Story to have 1+ RBI and the Boston Red Sox win – Boosted from +200 to +235 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Trevor Story to have at least 1 RBI and the Boston Red Sox to beat the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. Story is batting .225 this season, but has 53 RBIs on the season, which is tied for 11th in the MLB. Story has just 1 RBI so far in July, but in 4 games against the Rays this season, he has 2 RBIs.

Our experts would lean to the Red Sox on the money line tonight, based on the fact that they have won each of Nick Pivetta’s last 4 starts. Jeffrey Springs for the Rays has not pitched for a while now after missing his last start. Even though Story has been on and off this season, he is still producing runs, so backing him to record an RBI and the Red Sox to win looks to be worth a small play.

CJ Cron to have 1+ hit and the Colorado Rockies to win – Boosted from +275 to +325 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need CJ Cron to have at least 1 hit and the Colorado Rockies will need to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Cron is batting .297 on the season and is riding a 9-game hit streak. He had a hit last night against the Dodgers in a game the Rockies lost by a 5-3 score. Our experts like the Dodgers to win tonight, especially with the fact that the Rockies will be starting German Marquez. The Rockies also have a terrible bullpen, while the Dodgers’ bullpen is one of the best. Cron might get a hit, but we should not expect the Rockies to win, therefore avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

New York Yankees, Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays to all win – Boosted from +220 to +300 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 3 MLB teams to win their games tonight: the New York Yankees against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Houston Astros against the Kansas City Royals, and the Toronto Blue Jays against the Oakland Athletics. Our experts like both the Yankees and Blues Jays to win their respective games easily on the run line against much weaker opponents. The Astros also look to be a solid play given the fact that they are playing a poor Royals team. For that reason, backing this parlay looks to be well worth a play.
