We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including picks from the EPL, MLB, and U.S. Open tennis. One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the MLB. A winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +1487 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Let’s break down each of these plays.

EPL: Leeds United ML (+115) over Everton, 3:00 pm ET

Leeds United have impressed in the early stages of the new season, particularly on home turf, where they have beaten Wolves and Chelsea in the EPL and registered a 3-1 win over Barnsley in the EFL Cup. The 3-0 win over Chelsea served as vindication for American coach Jesse Marsch, who is starting to put his mark on a team which had a free attacking style under his predecessor Marcelo Bielsa.

Everton, meanwhile, continue to falter. Frank Lampard’s team is winless in 4 games and has looked short of creativity. The Toffees have lost 8 of their 11 Premier League away games since Lampard took charge in January, therefore backing Leeds to pick up the full 3 points at home will be the play for Tuesday afternoon.

US Open Day 2: Sofia Kenin ML  (-155) over Jule Niemeier, 4:30 pm ET

The good news is that you can get Sofia Kenin at a great price because of recent injuries and general disappointing form. It’s a price worth jumping on (at least in the first round), as the 23-year-old American showed signs of life with a quarterfinal result last week in Cleveland in addition to a competitive 3-set loss to Sloane Stephens in Cincinnati.

Meanwhile, Jule Niemeier has slumped big-time since making a run to the Wimbledon quarterfinals. It should also be noted that the German is 13-15 lifetime on hard courts. By comparison she has won 104 matches on clay. Kenin should take this one comfortably even if she doesn’t play particularly well.

MLB: Detroit Tigers ML (+140) over Seattle Mariners, 7:10 pm ET

The Mariners have struggled with the Tigers this season, despite the fact that Detroit is hovering around 30 games below .500. The Tigers have won 4 of the last 5 matchups against the Mariners, and starting pitcher George Kirby simply allows too much hard contact.

Since returning from injury Detroit starter Matt Manning has pitched to an ERA of 2.37 over 7 starts. Add in the Tigers’ solid bullpen and backing them as an underdog looks to be well worth a play tonight.

MLB: Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves – Over 8 runs (-115), 7:20 pm ET

Opponents are averaging 8 runs per game in Jose Urena’s last 6 starts, and 2 of those were against the Diamondbacks, who rank in the basement of the league in most offensive categories. The last time that Urena faced an offense at the same level as Atlanta’s was in late July against the Dodgers and the veteran got shelled for 10 runs and 7 hits in 3 innings.

Since the all-star break, the Colorado arm barn ranks 28th in ERA and 25th in FIP, which means the Braves should be scoring all night. If the Rockies score a few lucky runs, that would be a pleasant surprise, but the Braves offense should do all the scoring.
