Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from FanDuel Sportsbook and 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 +195 to +225 with PointsBet Sportsbook
Going straight back to this prop, which also featured over the last week, we will need Aaron Judge to hit a home run tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge is batting .297 on the season, which is the 17th-best batting average in the league. More importantly, he has hit 46 home runs and we are just over 2 weeks into August. Tonight the Yankees will face Jose Berrios of the Blue Jays. He has allowed 26 home runs this season, so it is likely his struggles will continue against a powerful Yankees’ lineup.
Judge has 4 home runs in August, including one last Friday night against the Red Sox. He has 3 homers against the Blue Jays this season, and 1 against Berrios in his career. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Dansby Swanson to get 1+ RBI and the Atlanta Braves to win – Boosted from +425 to +525 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Dansby Swanson to record at least 1 RBI and the Atlanta Braves will need to beat the New York Mets on Thursday night. Swanson is batting .292 this season and has recorded 65 RBIs. He has 4 RBIs against the Mets in the current series, so even though the Braves are facing Jacob deGrom tonight, there is still a chance he will have the opportunity to drive in a run. Our experts would actually lean to the Braves tonight against deGrom and the Mets, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a small play — especially at the odds that are being offered.

Jacob deGrom and Max Fried to Throw 15+ Combined Strikeouts – Boosted from +140 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Jacob deGrom and Max Fried to combine for 15 strikeouts tonight. deGrom has just 3 starts this season due to his injuries, but has 28 strikeouts. He is coming off back-to-back starts of 10+ strikeouts, and one of those games came against the Braves where he recorded 12. Fried on the other hand, has 127 strikeouts this season. It seems very likely that deGrom will once again post double-digit strikeouts tonight, while Fried is averaging 5.8 strikeouts over his 22 starts this season. He has recorded at least 5 strikeouts in 4 of his last 5 starts. In 3 starts against the Mets this season, Fried is also averaging about 5 strikeouts, so with deGrom also being included in this number, this prop looks to be well worth a play on Thursday night.
