We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including picks from the MLB, EPL, MLS and NFL preseason. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1119 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Nottingham Forest +0.5 (-105) over Everton, 10:00 am ET
Nottingham Forest are up and running courtesy of a hard-earned 1-0 win over West Ham and can give Everton a hard time at Goodison Park. The Toffees have played two and lost two and are even money or shorter for this assignment against Steve Cooper’s newly-promoted team, but have done little to suggest they warrant support at that sort of a price.
Forest was played out of the park at Newcastle, but were far more competitive at home to the Hammers. Everton are a far sturdier outfit at home, however; there’s nothing about the Toffees’ price that invites any level of enthusiasm and feelgood Forest can get something from their trip to Goodison.

NFL Preseason: Las Vegas Raiders -1 (-110) over Miami Dolphins, 7:00 pm ET
The Raiders are already 2-0 both straight up and against the spread in the preseason. Their extra outing in advance of Week 2 was because they participated in the Hall of Fame Game, in which they beat the Jaguars 27-11. After disposing of Jacksonville, Las Vegas beat Minnesota 26-20 last Sunday. No team will ever be going all out in a preseason situation, but look for first-year Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels to make at least some effort to improve to 3-0.

MLB: Texas Rangers vs Minnesota Twins – Over 8.5 runs (-110), 7:10 pm ET
This pitching matchup presents a great opportunity for runs to be scored. Glenn Otto (Texas Rangers) enters this game with an ERA of 4.96 and has been prone to high numbers this season. On the other side, Chris Archer (Minnesota Twins) enters this game with an ERA of 4.15 and has not made it past 5.0 innings all season. Offensive production should continue to be prominent in this one, so backing the over will be the play.

MLS: Vancouver Whitecaps vs Real Salt Lake – Both teams to score (-140), 10:00 pm ET
