Best sportsbook promotions and odds boosts for today 8/25: MLB and NFL preseason

San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs to both win – Boosted from +220 to +260 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This parlay will need 2 NFL teams to win their final preseason game on Thursday night. The San Francisco 49ers will play the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers are unlikely to play many of their starters, including quarterback Trey Lance. However, the Texans do not have the depth needed to have any sort of confidence in them tonight.

As for the Chiefs and Packers, this game is much more of a toss-up. Neither team is expected to play their starters much or at all and even though our experts would lean to the Packers, backing the Chiefs and this parlay still looks to be worth a small play as a way to hedge a play on the Packers money line.

Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +250 to +295 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees to hit a home run against the Oakland Athletics. We have covered this prop plenty of times recently, but will continue to cover it as the sportsbooks continue to offer it. Judge is batting .297 on the season and has 48 home runs. He recently went through a dry spell of 10 straight games without a home run, but has hit 1 in 2 straight games — both against the New York Mets.

Judge and the Yankees will face Oakland’s James Kaprielian. He has allowed 15 home runs this season, including 1 in 2 of his last 3 starts. After the Yankees struggled to just win games over the past week or so, they found success against the Mets along with Judge at the plate — so backing this prop does look to be worth a small play.

Alex Verdugo to have 1+ RBI and the Boston Red Sox to win – Boosted from +430 to +525 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Alex Verdugo to record at least 1 RBI and the Boston Red Sox will need to beat the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. Verdugo is batting .280 on the season and has record 58 RBIs this season. However, he has just 2 RBIs over his last 5 games. The Red Sox have already fallen apart this season and are currently in the midst of a 3-game losing streak. They will now face Kevin Gausman tonight, who has an ERA of 2.99. Because Verdugo is not producing many runs recently and because the Red Sox are struggling as a team, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.
