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

Bryce Harper to record 2+ RBIs – Boosted to +550 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Phillies have surged in front of the NL East with their recent form and Bryce Harper has been playing extremely well. The Phillies were shut out by the Dodgers on Tuesday night, but facing David Price tonight should give them an opportunity to bounce back. Still, asking Harper to have 2 RBIs is a big ask against this Dodgers’ defense, so this may be an odds boost best to avoid.

Athletics vs Indians: Over 2.5 hits in the first inning – Boosted to +190 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Oakland Athletics are trying to chase down the Houston Astros in the AL West and will need to take advantage of an average Indians team at best. Both lineups actually have some solid bats at the top of their lineups, so hits should come early in this game. Both pitchers are having decent seasons, but this still looks to be a decent play with what the top of each lineup has to offer.

Nathan Eovaldi to record 6+ Strikeouts and Red Sox win – Boosted to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Nathan Eovaldi has had stretches this season for the Red Sox where he has been very good. There have also been times where he can struggle. Eovaldi has 124 strikeouts this season over 126.0 innings, so I would not be too concerned with him reaching 6 Ks on the night. However, our experts actually like the Rays to win this game, therefore this odds boost looks to one to avoid.

Shohei Ohtani to reach base in first plate appearance – Boosted to +185 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Shohei Ohtani continues to impress, even when his team does not consistently win games. He tripled in his first plate appearance last night, and there is a good chance he could do something similar tonight. He does not even have to get a hit as a walk or even a hit by pitch would count the same. For that reason, this looks to be worth a play.

Washington Football Team and Eagles Both to Win – Boosted to +260 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Note that this odds boost will be for Thursday night as the NFL Preseason will resume. We will be looking for both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Football Team to win, though our experts are not confident in either. With the Patriots, it is just too hard to bet against Bill Belichick, even in the Preseason. As for the Eagles, they have the luxury of playing a Steelers team that looked solid in their preseason opener and thus already have a game under their belt. For that reason, this looks to be an odds boost to avoid.

Braves to lead after the end of the 5th inning – Boosted to +145 with BetMGM Sportsbook

The Atlanta Braves have been playing very well as of late and find themselves 1 game behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. They tend to play well early on in games before their bullpen can struggle late. Touki Toussaint has been better than his record an ERA indicate, so backing the Braves to win the first half looks to be worth a play.

Blue Jays, Giants, and Mariners all to win – Boosted to +275 with Caesars Sportsbook

Here we are going to need three teams to win their games tonight, and our experts like all 3. The Giants will play the lowly Diamondbacks, the Blue Jays will play the Angels and the Mariners will play the Rangers. In all 3 of these matchups, the teams we need have a pitching advantage–so backing this parlay looks to be worth a small play.

Los Angeles Chargers win AFC Championship – Boosted to +1800 with Caesars Sportsbook

The NFL season is so close and here we are going to look at an AFC futures play. The AFC is obviously stacked with teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and even the Cleveland Browns. Though the Los Angeles Chargers should not be counted out with Justin Herbert returning at quarterback. They have overhauled their offensive line and only look to get better on defense. For that reason, backing the Chargers to win the AFC as a longshot looks to be worth a very small play.

Webb Simpson First Round Leader – Boosted to +2800 with Caesars Sportsbook

The FedEx Cup is on the horizon, but first we have the Wyndham Championship this weekend. Webb Simpson is the favorite at this event and our top pick to win this week. He will likely need a hot start, so backing him to be the first-round leader looks to be worth a shot.
