We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including action from the NHL, NBA, EPL and MLB. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1428 at DraftKings. Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Brighton & Hove Albion tie no bet (+110) vs Manchester United, 12:30 pm ET
Brighton climbed back into the top half of the EPL standings after last Saturday’s superb 3-0 success at Wolves and the Seagulls’ strong finish to the season can continue with a victory over Manchester United. Albion lost their way between February and March with 6 straight losses, but they have taken 10 points from the last 5 games, including impressive wins at Arsenal (2-1) and Tottenham (1-0).
While Brighton continue to progress, United is heading for its lowest ever Premier League points total.
Last season United’s unbeaten road record was the key to a 2nd-place finish, but the Red Devils have been defeated on their last 4 Premier League road trips, scoring 2 goals and conceding 12. Take Brighton to cause an upset with the insurance of a tie-no-bet wager.

MLB: New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies – Over 7 runs (-105), 4:05 pm ET
Mets-Phillies games this season are averaging 9.29 runs per game. Usually it has been the Mets running up the score, but both teams have scored runs in bulk. The over has been hot for both teams. In their respective last 10 games, the over has hit in 13 of the combined 20 games.
Mets games have gone over in 5 out of their last 6, as have 7 out of the last 10 Phillies games. The overs trends are strong both independently and head to head. Plenty of runs have been scored when these teams meet, and although yesterday’s rainout means we get a stronger pair of pitchers on the mound, with Max Scherzer facing Kyle Gibson, this is a low total that could still be exceeded.

NHL: Colorado Avalanche vs Nashville Predators – Under 6.5 goals (-105), 4:30 pm ET
The total for this game opened at 6.5 and should stay at that number as the day moves on. It’s no surprise to see the total open so high considering how good Colorado is at scoring goals. They’ve been by far the better team in their series and they are hoping to continue that trend tonight.
That being said, Nashville is a well-rounded team that just hasn’t played well. They aren’t generating enough scoring chances and they are putting their hopes of advancing on a third-string goalie. Connor Ingram was magnificent in his first career playoff start and we could see him be just as good tonight. The expectation that this game will be a blowout just doesn’t seem right. Nashville needs to do a better job of playing in the offensive zone, and they can do that on home ice. This game will be close, so the under offers the best value.

NBA: Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors -7 (-110), 8:30 pm ET
The Warriors are heavy favorites because they are the better team and they are home. That shouldn’t scare you away from backing them. The Warriors covered just under 60% of their home games during the regular season. The crowd at the Chase Center will be a different level for this young Memphis team to handle. If Golden State gets an early lead, it may never look back. Memphis will need an all-out performance from everyone to steal a win. It’s more likely to happen in Game 4 after the Grizzlies adjust. Look for the Warriors to win big in Game 3.
