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.
Dansby Swanson over 1.5 total bases and the Atlanta Braves to win – Boosted from +240 to +275 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Dansby Swanson to record at least 2 total bases and the Atlanta Braves to beat the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon. Swanson and the Braves came out flat in Game 1, which led to a 7-6 loss. They are now in a must-win spot because they cannot afford to go back to Philadelphia down 2-0. Swanson was 1 for 5 on Tuesday afternoon, which included 4 strikeouts. The Phillies will start Zack Wheeler in Game 2, a pitcher Swanson has struggled against in his career. He is 6 for 37 against Wheeler, but given the situation, we should expect a much better showing from the Braves today. Our experts like the Braves to bounce back with a win this afternoon, therefore backing Swanson to also record at least 2 bases looks to be worth a play.

Zack Wheeler over 5.5 strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies to win – Boosted from +290 to +340 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Zack Wheeler to record at least 6 strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the Atlanta Braves this afternoon. Wheeler ended the regular season with a record of 12-7 and had an ERA of 2.82. He recorded 163 strikeouts this season as well. Wheeler has already had 1 start in the postseason against the Cardinals, pitching 6.1 innings without allowing an earned run. He recorded only 4 strikeouts, though he has recorded at least 6 strikeouts in 6 of his last 10 starts. The Braves are prone to strikeouts as well, so he should be able to reach this number. Our experts like the Braves to win this afternoon, but this prop may still be worth a play in order to have a play on both sides of this game.
Freddie Freeman over 1.5 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +350 to +425 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Freddie Freeman to record at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Diego Padres tonight. The Dodgers won Game 1 by a score of 5-3, though Freeman went 0 for 3. Freeman is 5 for his last 22 going back to the end of the regular season, but in just 2 of those games has he recorded at least 2 hits. Our experts like the Padres to cover the run line tonight, so even though a Dodgers win still looks likely, Freeman has struggled enough recently that 2 hits might be hard to come by. For that reason, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.
