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.

Arsenal to lead at halftime and win – Boosted from +140 to +160 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Arsenal to lead at halftime and they will need to win the game against Aston Villa on Wednesday afternoon. Arsenal is the only remaining team in the Premier League that has yet to lose or draw a game and that is unlikely to change against struggling Aston Villa. The Gunners have led at halftime in 3 of their 4 games this season, so while Villa have only trailed at the break in 1 of their 4 games, the Arsenal attack looks too strong right now to not expect a halftime lead. If they manage to grab a halftime lead, they have plenty of quantity to at the very least double their goal tally in the second half, while also having a solid defense to keep Villa out. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Jacob deGrom to throw 9+ strikeouts and the New York Mets to win – Boosted from +150 to +170 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Jacob deGrom to record at least 9 strikeouts and the New York Mets will need to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. deGrom is 3-1 on the the season and has an ERA of 2.15. He has recorded 46 strikeouts in 5 starts this season and has at least 9 in 4 of his 5 starts. The only start where he did not record 9 strikeouts was his first, and that was mainly because it was his first game after coming back from injury. Our experts do like the Mets to win tonight with deGrom on the mound, therefore backing this prop looks to be well worth a play on Wednesday night.

Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool to each score 2+ goals – Boosted from +165 to +230 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool to each score at least 2 goals in their games on Wednesday afternoon. City will take on Nottingham Forest, Tottenham will face West Ham and Liverpool will face Newcastle. Manchester City is the most likely candidate to score at least 2 goals as they have done so in all 4 of their games so far this season. Tottenham have scored at least 2 goals in 3 of their 4 games, and Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their 4 games. However, Liverpool are coming off a game over the weekend where they scored 9 times against Bournemouth, so backing this prop looks to be well worth a play.
