NBA Odds Boosts
Zion Williamson Scores 25+ Points AND Pelicans Win
Many eyes will be on Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans as the NBA season resumes today in Orlando. New Orleans is tied for the ninth seed in the Western Conference, which this year means a potential chance for a play-in game into the playoffs. Then there’s Williamson, who took the league by storm when he made his debut in January and hasn’t disappointed since.
Williamson scored at least 25 points in seven of his last 10 games before the shutdown as he grew into a dominant force in the post. His mere presence is a boost to the Pelicans, who had a winning record in the 19 games Williamson played this season, and he opens the floor for his teammates.
BetMGM boosted the odds on this bet to +290 from +250, and the bigger question on this bet is if Williamson can score 25 points on Rudy Gobert. Utah is without its second-leading scorer Bojan Bogdanović, and the Jazz don’t have enough scoring options to fully replace his 20 points per game.

MLB Odds Boosts
Pete Alonso Hits Home Run AND Mets Win
Every day it seems like one sportsbook or another creates an odds boost around whether or not Alonso will hit a home run for the Mets. Today’s it’s FanDuel, who is matching the Alonso prop bet with the New York Mets beating the Red Sox in Boston.
What is intriguing about this bet is the fact FanDuel increased the odds nearly four percentage from +420 to +550 on this wager. Alonso had his best game of the season last night with four hits in four at-bats, but the Mets couldn’t rally to win. He’s already blasted one homer at Fenway Park this week and faces a left-handed pitcher in Martin Perez, who has had an ERA above 5.00 the last two seasons.
Alonso is hitting home runs roughly once every 10 at-bats against left-handers in his career with 15 home runs in 158 official at-bats. The second-year player has started to find his stroke again at the plate, which means it’s only a matter of time before the balls leave the ballpark again. To help matters, the Mets send Steven Matz to the mound after a strong start last weekend against the Braves in his season debut.

MLS Odds Boosts
Philadelphia Union Score First AND Philadelphia Win
Philadelphia has been one of the best defensive teams in the MLS Is Back Tournament, having conceded just two goals in four matches thus far. The Union has scored first in all four matches it has played and all five goals it has scored have come from different players.
A main reason for Philadelphia success is the play of goalkeeper Andre Blake. The Jamaican international made seven saves to keep a clean sheet against New York City FC in the opening game of the tournament and turned away five saves last week to shut out New England. In total, he’s stopped 21 of the 23 shots he’s faced since returning to play.
This wager from DraftKings moved from +335 to +360 due to the boost. Philadelphia is playing an offensive-minded Sporting Kansas City squad that outshot Vancouver 36-8 in its Round of 16 match. However, KC didn’t score in that match and Philadelphia is far more disciplined defensively, which will make life harder for Sporting.
