Here at Pickswise we have 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.

Texas A&M Aggies to lead at halftime and win – Boosted from +175 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need the Texas A&M Aggies to lead at halftime and win against the Ole Miss Rebels. The Aggies are having a season that is well below expectations, but Ole Miss was somewhat exposed last week against LSU. The Rebels were visibly fatigued last week and with their bye week on deck, they may struggle against against the Aggies, who are coming back off their bye. The stats would point to Ole Miss, but Texas A&M is playing its first home game in several weeks and should be motivated by the home crowd. For that reason, backing the Aggies to lead at halftime and win this game looks to be worth a small play.

Framber Valdez over 5.5 strikeouts and the Houston Astros to win – Boosted from +175 to +195 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Framber Valdez to record at least 6 strikeouts and the Houston Astros will need to win Game 2 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. In a shocking turn of events, the Astros lost Game 1 6-5 after leading 5-0. They will look to bounce back tonight with Valdez. He has made 2 postseason starts so far, allowing 4 runs (2 earned) over 12.2 innings. He has recorded at least 6 strikeouts in both of his postseason starts. It is hard to believe that the Astros will lost back-to-back home games, especially in the World Series, so for that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

UCLA Bruins to cover the spread (-16.5) and score over 39.5 points – Boosted from +120 to +135 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs the UCLA Bruins to cover the spread (-16.5) and score over 39.5 points against the Stanford Cardinal tonight. The Bruins suffered their first loss last week against the Oregon Ducks, but have a much easier task this week. Stanford has been well below average this season, coming into this game with a record of 3-4. Our experts love the Bruins to cover -16.5 tonight and they are also averaging 39.9 points per game. They have scored at least 40 points in 5 of their 7 games, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play as the Bruins can get back to their winning ways without much trouble.
