We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday night including action from the NFL and MLB.
Two picks are taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +736 with DraftKings; that’s more than 7/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NFL: Carolina Panthers vs Dallas Cowboys – Under 51.5 points (-115), 1pm ET
Carolina has allowed just 30 points in 3 games and their dominance against the run should be effective in shutting down Ezekiel Elliott. A big reason why this line is so high is that the game features the Cowboys, which is understandable given they just put 41 points on the Eagles. But the Panthers are not the Eagles, and given they have allowed opposing QBs to complete just 57.5 percent of passes this season (third-lowest in the NFL) they have a good chance of frustrating Prescott.
The under has cashed in every Carolina game this season, and they’ve got what it takes to limit Dallas’ chances of getting into the endzone. Roll with the under.

MLB: Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-170), 3:05pm ET
With wins on Friday and Saturday, the Jays have worked this into a meaningful game. They crushed the Orioles yesterday and are set up to do so again in this season finale. Baltimore is using a lefty and after what Toronto did to John Means yesterday it is hard to expect a better result against a less experienced pitcher.
Hyun-Jin Ryu makes me a little nervous but everything else about this game screams Toronto. Not only do they need it but they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. Starter Alek Manoah was great yesterday and they won with ease so they have lots of quality arms available to support Ryu if need be.

MLB: San Diego Padres vs San Francisco Giants ML (-210), 3:05pm ET
After the Giants’ decision to pull Kevin Gausman after 7 innings cost them Saturday’s game, the Dodgers won convincingly later in the day, leaving the wild West open on the last day of the season. But the Giants can still clinch with a win on Sunday, and Logan Webb is just the guy to do it. Webb was hardly on anyone’s radar prior to the season, but the right-hander has been phenomenal for the Giants this year, going 10-3 with a 2.93 ERA through 25 starts.
The Padres will start Reiss Knehr to finish one of the most disappointing seasons by any team in recent memory. Knehr’s been nothing special in his first 26 big league innings, and he probably won’t go more than 3 or 4 innings at the most before turning it over to the bullpen, a unit that pitched 5.0 innings and used its biggest arms on Saturday. Giants all the way.

NFL: Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers – Under 52.5 points (-110), 4:05pm ET
New Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has shown zero ability to make adjustments, and Seattle has scored zero points in the third quarter as a result. After the first two quarters, the passing game nosedives. Crucially for this under, both Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf are dealing with injuries. Metcalf’s appear to be less serious, but there are real questions about Lockett’s status here.
If he doesn’t play, that’s a massive downgrade to the Seahawks offense. San Francisco’s defensive front led by Nick Bosa will be able to get a lot of pressure here after mostly being stymied by Green Bay’s stout offensive line. Jimmy Garoppolo has looked pretty shaky for most of the year, so I’m not expecting him to light up the scoreboard or come close to sending this over by himself.
