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

Freddie Freeman or Kris Bryant to hit a home run – Boosted from +150 to +175 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need either Freddie Freeman or Kris Bryant to hit a home run tonight. Both of these players are with new teams this season and both with be looking to start the season well. They both have plenty of power, plus this game is being played in Coors Field. it does not take much to hit a home run there, so backing this prop looks to be worth a lean.

Luis Severino to throw 5+ strikeouts and Yankees to win vs Red Sox – Boosted from +165 to +230 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Luis Severino to have at least 5 strikeouts and the Yankees to beat the Red Sox. Severino is making his first start of the season and is coming off a year in which he was injured pretty much the entire time. He was 1-0 in just 4 appearances and had 8 strikeouts. It may take him some time to get back up to speed, so we should be cautious with backing a strikeout prop. On top of that, our experts also like the Red Sox to bounce back from an extra-inning loss yesterday with a win this afternoon. For that reason, avoiding this prop looks to be the smart play.

Petr Yan to Win by KO/TKO vs Aljamain Sterling  – Boosted from +165 to +230 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop needs Petr Yan to beat Aljamain Stering by KO/TKO tonight at UFC 273. Yan is trying to retain the UFC Bantamweight title after being DQd against Sterling last year. He lost the title on that night, but our experts expect this fight to be much closer. We expect this fight to go back and forth, but believe it will go the distance, so avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

Khamzat Chimaev to win in round 1 vs Gilbert Burns – Boosted from +150 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop needs Khamzat Chimaev to beat Gilbert Burns in Round 1 tonight at UFC 273. Chimaev is perfect in his MMA career, with a record of 10-0. He is 4-0 in the UFC and has finished every fight in his career. Of his 10 career fights, 7 have come in the first round and that should be the same for tonight. Our experts already love Chimaev to win this fight by a finish, so backing this prop is worth a play.
