We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Thursday, including action from the NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, MLB and the Euro 2020 soccer tournament.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +2195 with BetMGM — that’s more than 21/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.
Best Euro 2020 pick: Austria vs. Netherlands ML and Both teams to score (+240), 3:00 pm ET
Netherlands suffered a scare after it had seemed to be cruising to an opening win against Ukraine at Euro 2020 last time, conceding two late goals before winning 3-2. The Dutch team looked shaky in defense without Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, who is injured. Given that lack of defending against the Ukraine, we like the Netherlands to claim the three points, but will also back both teams to score.

Best NHL pick: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New York Islanders ML (+125), 8:08 pm ET
New York is 4-2 on their home ice this postseason and will be coming home to what is sure to be a thunderous crowd as they host their first third-round playoff game in almost 30 years. They will also be a little angrier in a pivotal Game 3 after the Lightning got away with seven skaters on the ice at the same time, which led to them taking a 2-1 lead. The Islanders are rolling right now, and we like them at plus money odds as they look to take the series lead on their home ice. Take the Islanders.

Best NBA pick: Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks -5.5 (-110), 8:35 pm ET
This has been a wild series so far with so many turnarounds, I expect Game 6 to be just another chapter in a historic matchup. Yes, it is a closeout game for Brooklyn, but we have to factor in that Kevin Durant played all 48 minutes on Tuesday so we’re not sure how much is left in that tank of his. That plus Kyrie Irving not playing and James Harden not being at 100 percent makes us look towards the Bucks here. With the help of the home crowd they can force a Game 7. Back Milwaukee to cover.

Best MLB pick: Tampa Bay Rays ML (-175) vs. Seattle Mariners, 10:10 pm ET
Tampa Bay has been a great road team this season, and their 24-12 road record is the best in the league. The Rays will turn to veteran left-hander Rich Hill on the mound, and in six road starts this season he is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA. Hill posted a very impressive 0.78 ERA through six starts and 34.2 innings in the month of May, and he is holding opposing hitters to a .193 batting average (.189 on the road). Hill has been great against the Mariners in the past, going 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA in 12 games and five starts against them throughout his career.
