We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay which will take you right through the night, including action from the NHL, NBA, and MLB.
Each pick is taken from a different sport with a second pick from the NBA. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1068 with BetMGM — that’s 10/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.
Best NBA Pick: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns -2.5 (-110), 3:30 p.m ET
Both Lebron James and Anthony Davis were atrocious in the first half of their play-in game against Golden State, and they are a bit fortunate to be in this series with the Suns. The Lakers are sizable favorites to win this series, and the Suns have been stewing with that disrespect. The Suns went 27-9 at home this year, and they don’t care if the Lakers are defending champions or not. Lay the points with Phoenix.

Best MLB Pick: Seattle Mariners vs. San Diego Padres -1.5 (-105), 4:10 p.m ET
The Padres have won eight games in a row, while the Mariners have lost five games in a row. Yu Darvish will be on the mound for the Padres, and with the year he his having, it is very difficult to see him having any major issues with this Mariners lineup. Darvish is sporting a minuscule 1.81 ERA through 54.2 innings this season, and the Padres are 8-1 in his nine starts. San Diego’s .281 average leads the National League over the last two weeks, and they have scored 22 runs in the first two games of this series. For that reason, we will continue to back them here and will do so on the run line.

Best NBA Pick: Atlanta Hawks vs. New York Knicks -1.5 (-110), 7:05 p.m ET
This series is expected to be tight and Game 1 is basically a pick ’em contest. That is interesting because during the season the Knicks were 3-0 against Atlanta and only the first of those three games was close. Each game was very different in terms of scoring too, ranging from modest to really high scoring in their most recent contest. That tells us that New York might have more of an advantage in the matchup than it appears on the surface as they can beat Atlanta playing a bunch of different ways. We believe Julius Randle is poised for a big game and will be backing the Knicks in Game 1 to cover the small line.

Best NHL Pick: Edmonton Oilers ML (-140) vs. Winnipeg Jets, 7:38 p.m ET
Through two playoff games, the Edmonton Oilers have outshot the Winnipeg Jets 71-58 but have only generated one goal. Nothing seems to be dropping for them, but we believe that’s bound to change. The Oilers had the fifth-best shooting percentage during the regular season, scoring on 10.9 percent of shots. Right now they’re scoring on 1.4 percent of shots. Expect Edmonton to bounce back for Game 3; it’s a must win and it’s extremely unlikely the Jets can hold Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to another scoreless game.
