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.

Mookie Betts to get 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +280 to +325 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Mookie Betts to record at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers will need to beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night. Betts is batting .273 on the season and has 19 hits so far in the month of August. In 5 of the 14 games played this month, Betts has recorded at least 2 hits and should be able to also have success tonight at the plate against the Brewers. Our experts like the Dodgers to win tonight as well, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth small play as they try to bounce back from a loss on Tuesday night.

Tony Finau and Will Zalatoris to both finish top 20 – Boosted from +140 to +180 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Tony Finau and Will Zalatoris to both finish in the top 20 at the BMW Championship this weekend. Finau has played in 23 events this season, finishing in the top 20 in 9 of them. That includes 2 wins in has last 3 starts and a T5 in his most recent start last week. Finau is one of the hottest players on tour right now, so yet another top 20 finish looks likely with how he is swinging the club.

Zalatoris has played in 23 events this season, finishing in the top 20 in 13 of them. He won the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week to put him into 1st in the FedEx cup standings and will need another good week to try and stay at the top. Based on the current form of both Finau and Zalatoris, backing this prop looks to be well worth a play.

Sungjae Im and Cameron Young to both finish top 20 – Boosted from +250 to +300 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Sungjae Im and Cameron Young to both finish in the top 20 at the BMW Championship this weekend. Im has played in 24 events this season, making the top 20 in 12 of them. He is coming off 3 straight top 20 finishes, including a 12th place finish last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Im is currently 11th in the FedEx cup standings and another top 20 finish would likely bolster his standing even more heading into the Tour Championship next week.

As for Young, he has played in 23 events this season, finishing in the top 20 in 10 of them. He is coming off a T31 last week and will want to play better as he prepares for his first Tour Championship. Young is currently ranked 13th in the FedEx Cup standings, so he likely needs at least a top 20 to improve that standing. Because both of these guys have been playing well recently, backing this prop does look to be worth a play.
