New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers to both win – Boosted from +150 to +170 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers to both win their preseason games tonight. The Patriots will face the Carolina Panthers and the Packers will face the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots may have lost last weekend but are generally not a team to fade. Our experts especially like them tonight because they have the better coach and, frankly, the quarterback situation in Carolina is hazy at best.

As for the Packers, our experts would lean to the Saints with the points, however; the Packers are still likely to win this game outright. Even though majority of the starters are not expected to play for Green Bay, backing this parlay still looks to be worth a play.

Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +190 to +215 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Going straight back to this prop, which also featured yesterday, we will need Aaron Judge to hit a home run tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge is batting .295 on the season, which is the 20th-best batting average in the league. More importantly, he has hit 46 home runs and we are just over 2 weeks into August. Tonight the Yankees will face Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays. He has allowed 7 home runs this season, but Judge has hit 3 against him in his career, so it is possible that he could find one tonight as well.

Judge has 4 home runs in August, including one a week ago on Friday night against the Red Sox. He has 3 homers against the Blue Jays this season, so for that reason backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get 1+ RBI and the Toronto Blue Jays to win – Boosted from +255 to +295 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to record at least 1 RBI and the Toronto Blue Jays will need to beat the New York Yankees. Guerrero Jr. is batting .282 on the season and has 75 RBIs. He has recorded 7 RBIs in his last 5 games, including 3 last night in a 9-2 win against the Yankees. New York will start Jameson Tallion tonight, and Guerrero Jr. is 5 for 17 (.294) against him in his career with 2 RBIs. Our experts like the Blue Jays to win tonight behind Kevin Gausman, so for that reason backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
