We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including action from the NHL Playoffs, MLS, UFC and MLB. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +877 at DraftKings. Let’s break down each of these plays.
MLS: New York Red Bulls ML (+110) vs Charlotte FC, 3:00 pm ET
The Red Bulls are coming off a 4-1 win over DC United last weekend, and they’ve gone 6-1-3 in all competitions since starting the season 3-2-2. The key for New York has been the revival of their attack, as they scored just 1 goal in 5 of their first 7 games, while they have now scored 2 goals or more in 7 of their last 9. The attack should be able to jump on Charlotte early, as they’ve allowed a goal in each of their last 5 games.
The Red Bulls have found their form, and even though Charlotte has just 1 loss at home, their 2 wins came against the New England Revolution and Vancouver Whitecaps. New York is a step above those teams, and they should be able to collect all 3 points this afternoon

MLB: Milwaukee Brewers ML (-160) vs Washington Nationals, 4:00 pm ET
Nationals starter Patrick Corbin has been one of the best pitchers to pick on this season. Corbin finally got his first couple of wins recently but is still just 2-8 with a 6.71 ERA. He’s allowed at least 5 runs in 3 of his last 5 starts, one of which was against this same Brewers team. He faced them just 3 weeks ago, allowing 8 hits that produced 5 runs.
Similarly, Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer has also faced the Nationals earlier this season. His performance was quite the opposite, as he didn’t allow a single run in 7.0 innings pitched. Although their starts were not against each other in mid-May, there’s no reason to expect anything different. It’s a battle of lefties, but not ones of similar caliber. With Washington’s bullpen not being in the same tier as Milwaukee’s, expect a road win today.

NHL: New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning – 3-way ML (-110), 8:00 pm ET
After their convincing Game 5 win on the road, it has never been clearer that Tampa Bay is playing at its peak. The series looked questionable after Games 1 and 2, but they have proved they are here to play.
It has been an all-around effort, as they are getting scoring from their top guys as well as their key depth pieces. Andrei Vasilevskiy has been dominant as always, letting in only 4 goals in his previous 3 games. It is this team effort that makes Tampa Bay the team they are, and they can take Game 6 and the series win.

UFC 275: Glover Teixeira vs Jiri Prochazka ML (-200), 12:00 am ET (Sunday morning)
Glover Teixeira is the fighter holding the belt, but there is a good reason why he is not the favorite to retain the title. Jiri Prochazka has won 12 fights in a row entering this title fight and of his 28 career wins, 25 have come by KO/TKO. His main concern would be grappling, but Prochazka has not lost by submission since 2013 and has not lost by KO/TKO since 2015. For that reason, backing Prochazka to win and for a new light heavyweight champion to be crowned will be the play.
