Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from FanDuel Sportsbook and PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Bryce Harper to get 1+ RBI and the Philadelphia Phillies to win – Boosted from +230 to +265 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Bryce Harper to record at least 1 RBI and the Philadelphia Phillies will need to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Harper is batting .320 on the season and has 51 RBIs on the season. He has only played 4 games in the month of August, but has 3 RBIs, including 1 last night against the Diamondbacks in what ended up being a 13-7 loss. Our experts would lean to the Diamondbacks tonight, so even though Harper has been solid at the plate recently, this prop looks to be best avoided given the fact that Arizona has one of their better pitchers on the mound tonight.

Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +140 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees to hit a home run against the Los Angeles Angels. We have covered this prop plenty of times recently including yesterday, but will continue to cover it as the sportsbooks continue to offer it. Judge is batting .294 on the season and now has 50 home runs before the month of September. He most recently hit a home run last night, and facing a struggling Angels side again will certainly give him a good opportunity to make it 51 tonight.

Judge and the Yankees will face Los Angeles’ Mike Mayers. He has allowed 8 home runs this season, including 4 over his last 3 starts. The Yankees have been better recently, despite losing their last 3 games, so backing this prop does look to be worth a small play.

Chelsea to lead at halftime and win the game – Boosted from +150 to +170 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Chelsea to lead at halftime this afternoon against Southampton and win the game at full time. The Blues bounced back from a 3-0 loss at Leeds this past weekend with a 2-1 win over Leicester City. They won that match despite being down to 10 men for just over an hour too. Chelsea have led at halftime in 2 of their 4 games this season (Everton, Tottenham), but only 1 of those matches resulted in a win (Everton). However, Southampton have not been very strong this season thus far and when they have trailed at halftime, they ended up losing the match. That only has happened once (Tottenham), but Chelsea’s attack looks much stronger now than it did a few weeks ago against Leeds, therefore backing this prop does look to be worth a play.
