We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including picks from the MLB, MLS and Wimbledon. Two picks are taken from the MLB with one pick from the MLS and Wimbledon. A winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +988 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
Wimbledon: Ons Jabeur vs Elise Mertens Under 20.5 games (-130), 11:30 am ET
With world No. 1 Iga Swiatek having crashed out on Saturday, Jabeur is now the title favorite – and for good reason. The second-ranked Tunisian has been clobbering opponents so far. No set has been closer than 6-4 and five of her six sets have been either 6-0, 6-1, 6-2, or 6-3. Her matches have seen a total of 16, 16 and 18 games. It is true that Elise Mertens is more dangerous than Jabeur’s first three opponents, but at the same time Mertens has been struggling in 2022. I don’t see this match being competitive.
MLB: Toronto Blue Jays ML (-135) over Tampa Bay Rays, 1:37 pm ET
After seeing the way the Blue Jays took care of the Rays to begin this series, it’s surprising to see the pricing of this game. Toronto has been great at home this season as well, posting the 5th-best home record in the league so far.
It is likely going to be difficult for the Rays to do much with Shane Baz on the mound on Sunday afternoon. The 2nd-year starter has not been leading the team to success, as Tampa has lost all 4 of his starts this season. On top of that, when the Blue Jays’ lineup is healthy like it is now, they can score against any pitching staff, therefore backing the Blue Jays to win will be the play.

MLB: New York Yankees ML (-165) over Cleveland Guardians, 1:40 pm ET
The Yankees had a successful Saturday as they took both games of the double-header against the Guardians. They outscored the opposition 19-5 in the two games and it was their 6th win in their last 7 games.
Jordan Montgomery gets the start for New York, which will be his 16th of the season, and the lefty is looking for his fourth win. The lefty gets a favorable matchup against the Guardians that rank 28th in batting average, 30th in slugging percentage and 30th in OPS against left-handed pitching. Because Cleveland has been one of the worst offenses in the league against left-handed pitching, backing New York to win will be the play.
