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.
Justin Verlander over 7.5 strikeouts and the Houston Astros to win – Boosted from +400 to +480 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Justin Verlander to record at least 8 strikeouts and the Houston Astros will need to beat the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the ALCS. The Yankees are likely at a disadvantage because they had to play yesterday due to their ALDS game being postponed on Monday. Verlander has made 1 start this postseason and it was not a good one. He allowed 6 earned runs against the Mariners and had just 3 strikeouts. However, he has had plenty of rest since that start and should be much better tonight against the Yankees. Our experts love the Astros tonight based on the situation the Yankees are in. For that reason, expecting a bounce back performance from Verlander plus an Astros win looks to be a play.

Rhys Hoskins to hit a home run – Boosted from +290 to +425 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Rhys Hoskins to hit a home run tonight against the San Diego Padres in Game 2 of the NLCS. Hoskins has just 1 home run this postseason, but it was a big one in a game where they dominated the Braves 9-1. Hoskins still had 30 home runs in the regular season and is 1 for 3 in his career against Padres starter Blake Snell with 1 home run. For that reason, backing this prop could be worth a small play.
