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

Tim Anderson to record 2+ hits and the Chicago White Sox to win – Boosted from +265 to +340 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Tim Anderson to record at least 2 hits and the Chicago White Sox will need to beat the Los Angeles Angels. The White Sox are clearly feeling the absence of a couple of top players, losing Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada to injury. Anderson is still hitting the ball well, posting an average of .302 so far. He is averaging 1 hit through 19 games but just had 2 hits last night against the Angels. Los Angeles will send out Jose Suarez, who has had some shaky starts this season, so getting 2 hits for Anderson should be likely. However, our experts like the Angels to continue their hot start to the season, especially with the White Sox lacking morale at the moment. For that reason avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and New York Mets All to Win – Boosted from +290 to +380 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 Kansas City Royals, the Boston Red Sox against the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets against the Philadelphia Phillies. Our experts would lean to the Yankees and Red Sox on the run line, so the fact that we just need them both to win looks to be a strong play. As for the Mets game, out experts actually like the Phillies to win that game after being no hit last night. The Mets’ pitching staff may be stretched a little thin for tonight, especially their bullpen, so avoiding this parlay looks to be the best option.

Marlon Vera vs Rob Font to End via KO/TKO – Boosted from +195 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop we will need the Main Event at UFC on ESPN 35 between Marlon Vera and Rob Font to end in a KO/TKO. Both fighters have been solid as of late, but Vera most recently won by KO/TKO, while Font lost by decision. Font has 8 wins by KO/TKO wins in his career and Vera has 7 wins by the same method. Our experts do like Vera to win the fight as a small underdog, and given his finishing ability, a KO/TKO could be possible. However, neither guy has ever lost by KO/TKO, so this prop is a little risky, but they both have a ton of power — therefore it may be worth a small play.

Be sure to check out our full fight preview for this Main Event.
