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

Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +230 to +265 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Once again for this prop, we will need Aaron Judge to hit a home run this afternoon against the Seattle Mariners. Judge is still batting .303 on the season, which is the 12th-best batting average in the league. More importantly, he has hit an incredible 44 home runs and we are only a little over a week into the month of August. This afternoon the Yankees will face Robbie Ray for the Mariners. He has allowed 21 home runs this season, so more long balls are likely with his struggles keeping the ball inside the park. Judge also has 7 career at-bats against Ray and all 3 of his hits against him were home runs.

Judge has 2 home runs in the month of August, and most recently hit one against the Mariners on Monday night. For that reason, continuing to back this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Trea Turner to get 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +280 to +320 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Trea Turner to record at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers will need to beat the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Turner is batting .306 on the season, which is the 9th-best batting average in the league. He has at least 1 hit in 7 of his last 8 games, which includes 2 games where he has at least 2 hits. One of those multi-hit games came on Monday night in a 10-3 win against the Twins and Turner should have similar success at the plate on Tuesday. Our experts do lean to a Twins win, but given how Turner is performing at the plate and the overall dominance we have seen from the Dodgers’ lineup, backing this prop still looks to be worth a lean, especially at the odds being offered.

Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas or Matt Fitzpatrick to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship – Boosted from +375 to +460 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas or Matt Fitzpatrick to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship this weekend. All 4 of these guys have had tremendous seasons. Scheffler has 4 wins, including the Masters, Smith has a couple of wins, including the Players Championship and The Open Championship, while Fitzpatrick won the US Open and Thomas won the PGA Championship. All 4 of these guys are near the top of the FedEx standings and are well rested. This is a loaded field, but having 4 different guys as an option to win makes this play worth a lean.
