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

Spain, Portugal & Norway All to Win – Boosted from +210 to +310 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay we will need 3 teams to win their UEFA Nations League matches this afternoon. That being Spain against Switzerland, Portugal against the Czech Republic and Norway against Slovenia. Spain is coming off back to back draws against Portugal and the Czech Republic, so Switzerland could very well be a tough opponent. The Swiss, on the other hand, lost to both Portugal and the Czech Republic — which should give the Spanish side the confidence to go for the 3 points.

Portugal still has the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, who could overwhelm the Czech defense. So while the Czech are coming off a productive draw against Spain, Portugal may be too much for them here with their quality up front.

As for Norway, it is coming off back-to-back wins behind the boot of Erling Haaland and the same should be expected here against Slovenia. For that reason backing this parlay is worth a small play.

Nikita Kucherov Over 1.5 points and the Tampa Bay Lightning to win – Boosted from +220 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Nikita Kucherov to record over 1.5 points and the Tampa Bay Lightning will need to win Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers. The Lightning have all the momentum now, winning both games at home to even the series at 2-2 and now will have the chance to take control of the series with a road win. Kucherov has record at least 2 points in 2 of the 4 games in this series with 1 of those games being in New York. Our experts would lean to the Rangers to win on their home ice, but this prop still might be worth a small play in case the momentum carries over on the road and the Lightning make it 3 wins in a row.

Gerrit Cole to record 8+ strikeouts and the New York Yankees to win – Boosted from +120 to +135 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Gerrit Cole to record at least 8 strikeouts and the New York Yankees will need to beat the Minnesota Twins tonight. Cole has 81 strikeouts this season, tied for the 4th most in the league. He has at least 8 strikeouts in 5 of his last 6 starts. Our experts like the Yankees to cruise to a win tonight, as well, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.
