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

New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Angels All to Win – Boosted from +310 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay we will need 3 MLB teams to win their games tonight. That being the New York Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles, the Chicago Cubs against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Los Angels Angels against the Texas Rangers. Our experts would lean towards the Yankees on the run line, meaning needing them just to win for this parlay looks to be a great play given how the Yankees have dominated the Orioles recently. We also are fairly confident that both the Angels and Cubs will win their games against inferior teams to begin the new week. For that reason, this parlay is worth backing tonight, especially at these odds.

Pete Alonso to hit a home run – Boosted from +370 to +500 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Pete Alonso to hit a home run tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alonso is batting .270 on the season and has 8 home runs. That is tied for 12th in the MLB for home runs. In 3 games against the Cardinals so far this season, Alonso has not hit a home run and is 3-for-10 against them. The Cardinals will start Miles Mikolas. Alonso is 2-for-7 against Mikolas in his career and has yet to hit a home run against him. Mikolas has been one of the best Cardinals’ pitchers this season, so backing this prop should likely be avoided in a game where Alonso could struggle to find a hit.

Charlie Blackmon to record 1+ RBI and the Colorado Rockies to win – Boosted from +370 to +500 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Charlie Blackmon to record at least 1 RBI and the Colorado Rockies to beat the San Francisco Giants. Blackmon has struggled this season to say the least, batting just .217. He does have 15 RBIs, including 2 on Sunday. But that was against the Kansas City Royals. Alex Wood will start this game for the Giants and he has been solid all season. He pitched last Tuesday against the Rockies, a game in which Blackmon went 0-for-4 and the Rockies lost 9-2. Our experts love the Giants to repeat that performance tonight with Wood on the mound again. Because the of our confidence in a Giants win, avoiding this prop looks to be the best and only option.
