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

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to record 1+ RBI and the Toronto Blue Jays to win – Boosted from +190 to +225 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to have at least 1 RBI and the Toronto Blue Jays will need to beat the Kansas City Royals tonight. Guerrero Jr. is off to a decent start this season, hitting .253 and he has 29 RBI’s with 12 home runs. In the month of June he has 5 RBIs in as many games and will face one of the leagues worst teams tonight in the Royals. Our experts are confident in a Blue Jays win and a win on the run line, so there should be plenty of chances for them to score against a weak Royals’ pitching staff. Guerrero Jr. also has at least 1 hit in his last 5 games, so he should have several opportunities to drive home a run tonight. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Leon Draisaitl to score 1+ goal and the Edmonton Oilers to win – Boosted from +250 to +305 with PointsBet Sportsbook

We need Leon Draisaitl to score at least 1 goal and the Edmonton Oilers will need to win Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Colorado Avalanche. Draisaitl has been held in check for the most part, having failed to score in any of the games so far and only producing 2 assists in Game 1.

However, our experts actually would lean to the Oilers to force a Game 5 given what is at stake, and for them to win, Draisaitl is likely going to need to find the back of the net. Because we are getting 3 to 1 on this prop and with Draisaitl still being a world-class player, backing this prop as a lean will be the play.

Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid to Each Have Over 3.5 Shots – Boosted from +115 to +150 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop we will need both Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid to have over 3.5 shots in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals tonight. Through 3 games in this series, MacKinnon is averaging 6.67 shots per game, while McDavid is averaging 2.67 shots per game. However, in the postseason as a whole, McDavid is averaging 3.7 shots per game, while MacKinnon is averaging 5.77 shots per game. With the chance to sweep the Oilers and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, I expect MacKinnon to be firing from the opening puck drop. Likewise, McDavid and the Oilers are desperately trying to keep their season alive and know they need to shoot as much as possible to try and force a Game 5. For that reason, backing this prop is worth a play.
