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.

Cristiano Ronaldo to Score & Over 3.5 Total Goals in The Game – Boosted from +320 to +420 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Cristiano Ronaldo to score against Liverpool and there will need to be over 3.5 total goals in the match. It is no secret that Manchester United have struggled so far this season,  losing to Brighton 2-1 and getting steamrolled by Brentford 4-0 last weekend. United have not even scored a goal on their own this season as their only goal in the match against Brighton was an own goal. Liverpool on the other hand, have not exactly been solid at the back, allowing 3 goals over their first 2 matches to teams who are expected to be middle of the pack this year at best.

Ronaldo is still a world class player and surely United is going to improve at some point this season, so expecting a goal from their top striker could be worth a play here. That and that fact that United’s defending has been ripped apart so far this season would suggest that backing this prop is worth a small play on Monday afternoon.

Aaron Judge to hit a home run – Boosted from +220 to +255 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 New York Mets. Judge is batting .293 on the season, which is the 21st-best batting average in the league. He has hit 46 home runs 3 weeks into the month of August, but like the Yankees, he has been in a slump recently.

Tonight the Yankees will face Max Scherzer of the New York Mets. He has allowed 8 home runs this season, but given the recent struggles of Judge and the recent dominant from Scherzer, backing this prop looks to be worth avoiding.

Freddie Freeman to have 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +285 to +340 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Freddie Freeman to record at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers will need to be the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. Freeman is batting .324 on the season, which is the 3rd best batting average in the league. He has 23 hits in the month of August over 19 games. In 6 of those games, he has recorded at least 2 or more hits, which includes each of his last 2 games. Our experts also like the Dodgers to win this game comfortably tonight, so with the way Freeman is swinging the bat, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
