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.
Aaron Nola to get 5+ strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies to win – Boosted from +320 to +420 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Aaron Nola to record at least 5 strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the St. Louis Cardinals tonight. The Cardinals collapsed in Game 1 of this series, blowing a 2-0 lead in the 9th inning. They are now just a game away from being eliminated and will have to face Nola, who has arguably been the Phillies’ best starter. Nola finished thee season with a record of 11-13, but had 235 strikeouts, the 4th-most in the league this season. In 32 starts this season, he recorded at least 5 strikeouts in 30 of those starts. Our experts like the Cardinals to win Game 2, but Nola’s dominance makes this prop worth a play as the Phillies look to close out the series.

Paul Goldschmidt to get 1+ RBI and the St. Louis Cardinals to win – Boosted from +350 to +450 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Paul Goldschmidt to record at least 1 RBI and the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. The Cardinals are looking to avoid an early exit to the playoffs and are in a must-win spot in Game 2. Goldschmidt ended the regular season batting .317 and recorded 115 RBI’s, the 3rd-most in the league this season. He went 0 for 3 in Game 1 on Friday and is 3 for 20 in his career against Nola. He does have 2 home runs against Nola, but overall he rarely does much when Nola is on the mound. Our experts like the Cardinals to even up this series tonight, despite facing Nola, however; Goldschmidt’s struggles against Nola are clearly a concern. The Cardinals may need to look for offense elsewhere, so avoiding this prop does look to be the best option.
Juan Soto to get 1+ hit and San Diego Padres to win – Boosted from +260 to +325 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Juan Solo to record at least 1 hit and the San Diego Padres to beat the New York Mets in Game 2 of their Wild Card series. The Padres hammered the Mets last night, beating them 7-1 to take a 1-0 series lead. Tonight may be much more difficult as they are set to face Jacob deGrom. Soto batted .242 during the regular season and was 0 for 4 last night. Facing DeGrom will be a much tougher task as Soto is 3 for 15 against him in his career. Our experts like the Mets to win tonight, therefore avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.
