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.

Freddie Freeman 2+ hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win – Boosted from +225 to +265 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Freddie Freeman to record at least 2 hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Francisco Giants tonight. Freeman is batting .322 on the season, the 2nd-best batting average in the league. He has gone hitless in 3 of his last 4 games, though in the 1 game during this stretch in which he did have a hit, he recorded 3 against the Padres. He ended August with an 8-game hit streak, which included 5 multi-hit games, so he is still in great form at the plate. Our experts like the Dodgers to win tonight on the run line against a struggling Giants team, therefore backing Freeman to provide a couple of hits looks to be well worth a play.

Nolan Arenado to hit a home run – Boosted from +320 to +350 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Nolan Arenado to hit a home run for the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon against the Washington Nationals. Arenado has 28 home runs this season, which is tied for 13th in the league. He has gone 3 straight games without a home run, but hit one to end August and looks to have a promising matchup this afternoon.

The Cardinals will face Anibal Sanchez, who has been bad all season. He has allowed 12 home runs this year, including 5 over his last 5 starts. Because Sanchez has struggled so much, backing Arenado to take advantage and hit a home run looks to be worth a small play.

Clemson Tigers -20.5 vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Houston Astros to win, and Danielle Collins to win v Aryna Sabalenka  – Boosted from +420 to +550 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This parlay will need the Clemson Tigers to cover -20.5 points against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, the Houston Astros to beat the Texas Rangers and Danielle Collins to beat Aryna Sblalenka at the U.S. Open. Our experts like the Tigers to start their season strongly with a dominating win over the Yellow Jackets due to what is likely going to be an improved offense and their defense, which was the 8th-best rushing defense last season.

Collins will certainly have a tough matchup with #6 seed Sabalenka, but has been playing very well during this tournament and will have the crowd on her side to help pull off the upset. Finally, the Astros will start rookie Hunter Brown, who is making his MLB debut. He and the Astros will face the Rangers’ ace, Martin Perez, who has been playing lights out this season. Our experts love the Rangers tonight to pull off the upset, therefore avoiding this parlay looks to be the best option.
