Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Dylan Cease to have over 6.5 strikeouts and under 0.5 runs scored in the 1st inning– Boosted from +135 to +160 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Dylan Cease to go over 6.5 strikeouts and there will need to be under 0.5 runs scored in the 1st inning between the Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox. Cease has recorded 174 strikeouts this season, the 3rd most in the league. He has at least 7 strikeouts in 16 of his 23 starts this season, including 2 of his last 3 starts and 5 of his last 7 starts. Justin Verlander will make the start for the Astros, who is also having a dominant season. For that reason expecting a scoreless 1st inning plus Cease to record at least 7 strikeouts looks to be worth a play.

Justin Verlander to have over 6.5 strikeouts and the Houston Astros to win – Boosted from +190 to +215 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Verlander to record more than 6.5 strikeouts and the Houston Astros will need to beat the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Verlander is 15-3 on the season and has an ERA of 1.85, both of which are the best in the league. He has recorded 134 strikeouts this season, which is tied for 18th in the league. He has recorded at least 7 strikeouts in just 9 of his 23 starts this season, but has done so in 4 of his last 6 starts. Our experts would lean to the Astros tonight, even with Cease on the mound for the White Sox. Houston has too strong of a lineup and Verlander has been even better than Cease, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a play.
Merrill Kelly to have over 4.5 strikeouts and the Arizona Diamondbacks to win – Boosted from +195 to +225 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Merrill Kelly to record over 4.5 strikeouts and the Arizona Diamondbacks will need to beat the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Kelly is 10-5 on the season and has an ERA of 2.95. He has recorded 115 strikeouts this season over 23 starts. In 15 of his 23 starts, he has recorded at least 5 strikeouts, including each of his last 5 starts. Our experts do like the Diamondbacks to win tonight as Kelly has been lights out on the road. The Giants will start Jacob Junis, who has been better since getting out of Kansas City, but is not a pitcher to be afraid of. Add in the fact that the Giants’ lineup has been inconsistent this season and backing this prop looks to be worth a play on Tuesday night.
