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

Freddie Freeman to record 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +395 to +475 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs Freddie Freeman to record at least 2 hits tonight against the Atlanta Braves and for the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the game. Freeman hit a home run in his first at-bat against the Braves last night and should have similar success tonight. Max Fried will be on the mound for the Braves and he has clearly struggled through his first 2 starts. Freeman has 13 hits on the season through 10 games, giving him an average of .325. Our experts like the Dodgers to win the game, so backing Freeman in his second game against his former team is worth a play.

Ja Morant to score 30+ points and the Memphis Grizzlies to win – Boosted from +120 to +135 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Ja Morant to score at least 30 points tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies will need to win. Morant scored 32 points in Game 1 of this series and with their backs already against the wall, a big game should be expected here as well. Our experts like the Timberwolves to cover the spread, but a better defensive performance should be expected from the Grizzlies. They cannot afford to go down 2-0 in the series, therefore backing this prop is worth a play in what should be a bounceback game and a Grizzlies’ win.

Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards to each score 25+ points – Boosted from +140 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop is similar to the one above, but Ja Morant needs to score only 25 points, and Anthony Edwards has to do the same. Edwards ended up scoring 36 points in the Game 1 win and Minnesota will need a similar performance if they are going to take control of this series. Neither team looked to have an answer defensively for either of these players, so backing a big performance from both of them is worth a play.

Jose Altuve and Shohei Ohtani to each record 1+ hits – Boosted from +145 to +170 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we need Jose Altuve and Shohei Ohtani to each record at least 1 hit. Both of these guys have had their struggles at the plate to start the season. Ohtani is batting .234 , while Altuve is at .167. Altuve has 2 hits in 16 plate appearances against the Angels this season, but Ohtani is also pitching and is struggling, so Altuve should be able to find some success.

Ohtani has 3 hits in 20 plate appearances against the Astros, but could launch a home run on any given pitch. Even though both guys are struggling to find hits, they are both too good to stay in a slump. For that reason, backing this prop is worth a small play.
