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

Mookie Betts to record 3+ total bases – Boosted from +200 to +240 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Mookie Betts is having a solid NLCS so far, bringing in what would be the winning run with a double in Game 3. Tonight the Dodgers will look to make it back to back wins, and Betts will need to be a big part of that. The Dodgers are not facing the same quality pitching in this game, so backing Betts to record at least 3 bases looks to be worth a small play.

Coastal Carolina to defeat Appalachian State by 10+ points – Boosted from +170 to +195 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Coastal Carolina has been rolling teams this season and a game on Wednesday night should end in a similar result. The Mountaineers were blown out last week, and facing a better team in the Chanticleers is going to be rough. We already like Coastal Carolina to win and cover, so backing them to win by a few scores looks to be worth a play.

New York Knicks & Toronto Raptors Both to Win – Boosted from +190 to +240 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 2 teams to win their games. The New York Knicks will play the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors will play the Washington Wizards. We do like the Raptors to beat the Wizards without much trouble, but believe the Celtics will be too much for the Knicks. For that reason, staying away from this parlay looks to be the best option.

Chris Sale 4+ Strikeouts & Red Sox to Win – Boosted from +150 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

It is Chris Sale day in Boston in a crucial Game 5 of the ALCS. Sale has been rocked in his 2 postseason starts so far, not making it out of the 3rd inning in either start. Facing this Astros’ offense could also be an issue, as they have patient hitters, who do not strikeout that often. He has 2 strikeouts in both of his starts this postseason, so backing this prop looks to be best avoided.

Alex Verdugo to record a hit and the Red Sox to win – Boosted from +127 to +145 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Alex Verdugo is having a solid ALCS so far, but failed to record a hit in Game 4 on Tuesday night. The Red Sox will need a big performance tonight to reclaim the series lead and while a hit could be likely for Verdugo, our experts would lean to Houston retaking control of this series. For that reason, staying away from this prop looks to be the best option.

Devin Booker to score 25+ points and the Suns to win – Boosted from +112 to +130 with PointsBet Sportsbook

After two games on the opening night of the NBA, we get more of a full slate on Wednesday night. The Suns will open their season against the Nuggets and here we will need Devin Booker to have a big game. Booker was the best scorer for the Suns last season, averaging 25.6 points per game. There is not much reason to doubt Booker in this game, plus we like the Suns to win and cover against the Nuggets. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.
