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.

Trevor Story or Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +150 to +175 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Trevor Story or Aaron Judge to hit a home run. Story has not played well to start this season and being with a new team can do that. He is 1 for 8 over 2 games, still looking for his first home run as a Red Sox. He will face Jordan Montgomery on Sunday night, who is decent, but certainly has the ability to give up home runs.

Judge on the other hand, is also looking for his first home run of the season. He is 2 for 8 through the first 2 games, and will face Tanner Houck tonight, who allowed 4 home runs during the 2021 regular season.

With this game being in Yankee Stadium, both of these guys have a real chance to hit one out. Even though they have not had many hits this season, backing this prop still looks to be worth a small play.

Patrick Wisdom, Ian Happ, or Willy Adames to Record 1+ HRs – Boosted from +120 to +150 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Patrick Wisdom, Ian Happ or Willy Adames to record a home run. Wisdom is struggling so far this year, hitting .125 through 2 games. He is 1 for 8 on the season, but does have 3 RBI’s.

Happ has started the season 5 for 7, an average of .714 through 2 games this season. However, note that Happ has already been ruled out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Brewers, so unless he is pinch-hitting, he will likely not be involved in this prop.

Adames comes into this game hitting .333. He has gone 3 for 9 through the first 2 games, and has 1 RBI. Adames will face Marcus Stroman this afternoon and while Stroman had decent numbers last year, he may be due for some regression.

With Happ almost certainly out of the equation, we will have to rely on Wisdom or Adames to hit the home run. Wisdom has clearly struggled to get anything going, while Adames has only been slightly better. For that reason, this prop is best to stay away from.

Evgeni Malkin and Matt Duchene to Combine for 2+ Goals – Boosted from +280 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Evgeni Malkin and Matt Duchene to combine for at least 2 goals. Malkin has scored 17 goals this season, while Duchene has scored 37. Malkin has not scored since the start of April (4 games), and Duchene has scored just 2 goals over the last 4 games. Because Malkin is not known for his goal scoring, staying away from this prop will be the play.
