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 today. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Either CeeDee Lamb or Ezekiel Elliott to score a touchdown in the first half – Boosted from +120 to +145 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need either Ezekiel Elliott or CeeDee Lamb to score a touchdown. The catch is that it will need to come in the first half. Lamb managed to score in the first half of the Cowboys’ Week 1 game, while Elliott scored in the first half of their Week 2 game. These guys are sure to get plenty of chances in the first half tonight as well, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Sterling Marte to record 2+ hits – Boosted from +180 to +220 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need Sterling Marte to record at least 2 hits tonight against the Mariners. He is 6 for 22 against the Athletics this season (.272 average), so with just a decent pitcher on the mound for Oakland, this looks to be a prop worth backing.

Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Juan Soto or Trevor Story to hit a home run – Boosted from +125 to +150 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need either Juan Soto or Trevor Story to hit a home run. The good news is that this game will be played in Colorado. Soto has hit a home run against the Rockies this season, while Story has a homer against the Nationals. The Rockies are starting one of their best pitchers, but the Nationals are starting Jon Gray, who has not been as effective. Both these guys have plenty of power though, so backing this prop still looks to be worth a small play.

Colorado Rockies and Seattle Mariners both to win – Boosted from +200 to +240 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 2 teams to win their games. Our experts like the Rockies to win comfortably against the Nationals, while we also like the Mariners to take down the Athletics. For that reason, this parlay looks to be worth a play.

Eagles and Cowboys each to score 2+ touchdowns and 2+ field goals – Boosted from +270 to +320 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This Monday Night Football prop will need both the Eagles and Cowboys to score at least 2 touchdowns and 2 field goals. However, the Eagles’ offense did not look that good against the 49ers last week and against the Dallas defense, they may struggle to move the ball. Dallas could probably hit this mark, but the lack of confidence in the Eagles’ offense probably makes this a prop to avoid.

Ezekiel Elliott to record 50+ rushing yards and 1+ total touchdowns – Boosted from +152 to +175 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This Monday Night Football prop will hone in on Ezekiel Elliott. He is averaging only 52 rushing yards per game so far and has managed to score just 1 touchdown on the ground. Elliot has also not been a huge factor in the passing offense either, so avoiding this prop is likely the best move.

Jalen Hurts to have 250+ total yards and 2+ total touchdowns – Boosted from +220 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook

After a solid Week 1 performance, Jalen Hurts certainly struggled last week against the 49ers. Hurts did hit the total yards we would need in Week 2, but scored 1 only touchdown and did not have a passing touchdown. Against this Dallas’ defense, we believe the Eagles could struggle, which should lead to a lower-scoring game. Because of that, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.
