Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
New York Yankees and New York Rangers both to win – Boosted from +170 to +195 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this parlay we will need the New York Yankees and New York Rangers to both win tonight. The Yankees will be their ALDS series against the Cleveland Guardians, while the New York Rangers will begin their season against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Our experts like both of these teams tonight because Gerrit Cole is starting for the Yankees and the Lightning have question mark surrounding their team after losing some players in the offseason. For that reason, this parlay looks to be a solid play.

Gerrit Cole over 7.5 strikeouts and the New York Yankees to win – Boosted from +150 to +190 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Gerrit Cole to record at least 8 strikeouts and the New York Yankees to beat the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALDS. Cole had a fantastic season this year, posting an ERA of 3.50. More importantly, he led the majors with 257 strikeouts. In 33 starts in the regular season, Cole had at least 8 strikeouts in 19 of those starts. In 2 starts against the Guardians, Cole had a total of 15 strikeouts over 12.2 innings. Our experts lean to the Guardians to cover the run line tonight, but a win for the Yankees is still the most likely result. They have had plenty of rest and have their ace on the mound, so for that reason, backing a dominant performance from Cole plus a Yankees win looks to be worth a play.

Justin Verlander over 6.5 strikeouts and the Houston Astros to win – Boosted from +150 to +185 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Justin Verlander to record at least 7 strikeouts and the Houston Astros to beat the Seattle Mariners in Game 1 of the ALDS. Verlander has been outstanding this season, posting an ERA of 1.75 and recording 185 strikeouts. In 28 starts this season, Verlander recorded at least 7 strikeouts in 13 of those starts. In 6 starts against the Mariners, he recorded 43 strikeouts over 42.1 innings and had at least 7 strikeouts in 3 games against them. Our experts love the Astros tonight on the run line, but just needing an Astros win and a dominant performance from Verlander makes this prop well worth a play.
