We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including picks from the MLB, Champions League, and U.S. Open tennis. One pick is taken from each sport with a second taken from the MLB. A winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +789 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Let’s break down each of these plays.
Champions League: Celtic vs Real Madrid – Both teams to score (-165), 3:00 pm ET
Celtic has a tough task in taking on Real Madrid, which beat Paris St-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool on the way to Champions League glory in 2021-22, but the home team can at least score a goal. The Madrid giants have won their first 4 games in La Liga this season but have not managed a shutout in any of those victories. Both teams to score looks a good bet in Glasgow.

MLB: New York Mets -1.5 (-130) over Pittsburgh Pirates, 6:35 pm ET
Today’s game between the Mets and Pirates will be the series opener after Monday afternoon’s scheduled game was postponed. It will be the same starting pitching matchup that was supposed to be on the mound, with Taijuan Walker on the hill for the Mets, who is out for his 11th win. He’s been held to no-decisions in his last 3 starts, but they’ve been against some of the top teams in the Dodgers, Yankees and Braves.
The Pirates’ Mitch Keller looks set to record his 11th loss. Pittsburgh has lost 6 of his last 8 starts now. He’s never faced the Mets before, but recently lost to other NL East opponents in the Phillies and Braves. Along with the league’s 4th-worst bullpen, 3rd-worst lineup, and overall worst fielding, the Pirates are simply outmatched in this series.

US Open: Coco Gauff +1.5 games (-130) over Caroline Garcia, 7:00 pm ET
Coco Gauff has not dropped a set at the U.S. Open and has been extended to a tiebreaker only once. This is only Caroline Garcia’s second Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance and she has never been past this stage, whereas Gauff played in the French Open title match this spring. Gauff could win this one outright, but +1.5 games is a safer play for this parlay.

MLB: Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-130) over Oakland Athletics, 9:40 pm ET
The A’s are starting Cole Irvin for the opener, and the Braves have smashed lefties this season. They have the 2nd-highest OPS against them, and Austin Riley specifically has incredible numbers. His .364 average and .763 slugging percentage versus lefties should help support Braves starter Kyle Wright. He already has more wins than any other pitcher this season with 17, and one of those came in a dominating performance against the A’s. The last time these teams faced off the Braves won 13-2, and more of the same should be expected tonight.
