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

Shohei Ohtani to get 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Angels to win – Boosted from +420 to +525 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Shohei Ohtani to have at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Angels will need to win tonight against the Kansas City Royals. Ohtani is batting .260 on the season and is coming off a game last night where he had 3 hits. He will be on the mound tonight as well, and his ability to shut down a poor Royals’ offense could translate to him having success at the plate. In the month of June, he has had 5 multi-hit games, so facing Daniel Lynch for the Royals should give him plenty of opportunities to make it 2 games in a row with at least 2 hits. Our experts like the Angels to win this game on the run line, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon to each record 2+ points – Boosted from +325 to +390 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon to each record 2+ points tonight in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Makar has 26 points this postseason and has had 7 games where he had at least 2 points or more. That includes 2 out of the 3 games in this series with the Lightning. Even in the Game 3 loss, Makar recorded 2 points, both assists.

MacKinnon has 20 points this postseason, but just 3 games where he recorded 2 points or more. He has yet to have a multi-point game against the Lightning and has for the most part been held in check. Being on the road in Game 4 could only continue his struggles, at the very least for 1 of these guys, so even though they are the star players for the Avalanche, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

Nikita Kucherov to record 2+ points and the Tampa Bay Lightning to win – Boosted from +190 to +210 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Nikita Kucherov to record at least 2 points and the Tampa Bay Lightning will need to win Game 4 against the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals. Kucherov has 26 points this postseason and has had 8 games where he record at least 2 points. This includes the Game 3 win against the Avalanche, where he recorded 2 assists. With another game on home ice and the momentum start to shift towards the Lightning, I expect Kucherov to play a big role tonight as well. Our experts would lean to an Avalanche win, however; the Lightning have also been dominant at home, so backing this prop still looks to be worth a small play.
