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

Aaron Judge or JD Martinez to hit a home run – Boosted from +300 to +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Tonight will be a crucial game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. For this prop, we will either need Aaron Judge or JD Martinez to hit a home run. The Yankees will be starting Gerrit Cole and while he has been great this season, the home run ball tends to hurt him. The Red Sox will start Nathan Eovaldi, who has been a little inconsistent this season. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Dylan Cease to record a win – Boosted from +160 to +185 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The White Sox will take on the Cleveland Indians tonight in what should be a great pitching matchup. Dylan Cease will get the ball for the White and Shane Bieber is on the hill for the Indians. Though Bieber is making his first start in 3 months, so some rust is to be expected. Our experts would lean towards the Indians covering the +1.5 run line, but a White Sox win still seems likely. For that reason, this is a prop that looks worth a play.

Adam Duvall to hit a home run – Boosted from +320 to +400 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Atlanta Braves begin a series with the San Diego Padres tonight in what will be a crucial series. The Braves are 2 games ahead of the Phillies for the NL East and must get a few wins this weekend. Adam Duvall will be the focus here and he will need a home run. Duvall has a decent amount of home runs this year, but against a solid Padres pitching staff, this prop looks best avoided.

Bayern Munich to score 4+ goals – Boosted from +300 to +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Bayern Munich will take on Greuther Fürth in what should be a one-sided match. Bayern Munich is averaging 4 goals per game so far and Fürth has already allowed 13 in 5 games. Bayern is almost sure to win this game, so backing them to score 4 goals at this price looks to be a decent play.

Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox to both win – Boosted from +165 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

We will need 2 teams to win their games to cash this parlay. Our experts like the Indians to cover the +1.5 run line against the White Sox, but a Chicago win still seems likely. As for the Reds, we like them to handle the Nationals comfortably, so backing this parlay looks to be worth a play.

Manchester United, Leicester City and Liverpool to all win – Boosted from +260 to +320 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Note that this parlay will take place on Saturday, beginning at 7:30 am ET. Our experts actually like Aston Villa to find a result against Manchester United, whether it be a win or tie. We like Leicester City to likely win against Burnley and a Liverpool win in a low-scoring game vs Brentford also seems likely. Though because we lean to Aston Villa, this parlay looks to be best avoided.

Nick Diaz, Valentina Shevchenko and Alexander Volkanovski to all win – Boosted from +221 to +245 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This parlay will involve 3 fights in the UFC on Saturday night. Our experts like both Valentina Shevchenko and Alexander Volkanovski to win and to retain their titles. As for the fight involving Nick Diaz, we like that fight to just end inside the distance. Though Robbie Lawler is not in great form at the moment, so backing this parlay looks to be worth a small play.

Be sure to check out all of our UFC picks for this weekend’s card.
