We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including action from the NBA, NHL, MLB and Champions League. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +862 at DraftKings. Let’s break down each of these plays.
Champions League: Real Madrid vs Manchester City – Both teams to score – Yes (-120), 3:00 pm ET
Real Madrid is on the brink of winning the Spanish league and City’s toughest test yet in this competition. But the English champions have even more attacking quality than Chelsea. The problem for the home team, however, is that Madrid possesses serious offensive weapons in Karim Benzema (12 goals in 9 Champions League games) and Vinicius Junior, who have a great understanding. Madrid has failed to score in just 1 of its last 12 games and taking both teams to score in the game has more value than taking City to win.

NHL: Florida Panthers ML (-120) vs Boston Bruins, 7:05 pm ET
Florida suffered an embarrassing loss in its previous game and last home game of the regular season, when Tampa Bay came in and dropped 8 tallies in an 8-4 victory. This is something Florida will want to fix right away, as playoffs are around the corner. Facing off against another tough test in Boston, will ensure the Panthers are ready to go from puck drop. This is a big test that Boston will be looking forward to, as well, but Florida’s play will be too much for the Bruins.

NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies -6 (-110), 7:30 pm ET
These teams split the first 2 games in Memphis. What is interesting is that even after Minnesota won the first game the Grizzlies were favored by a half point more for Game 2, a matchup they won, covering the spread with ease. Now after the series was tied up in Game 4 we are back to the same spread from the series-opener. For the opener I was on Memphis, so I am a little gun shy this time around. I still think they get the series win though and only one of the games in this series has been close. I am looking for Memphis to win comfortably on Tuesday.

MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers ML (-200) vs Arizona Diamondbacks, 9:40 pm ET
The Dodgers were able to win 2 out of 3 against the San Diego Padres over the weekend and a series against the lowly Diamondbacks should only strengthen their lead in the NL West. Los Angeles is scheduled to start Tony Gonsolin on Tuesday night, who is 1-0 on the season so far and has an ERA of 0.69. In 3 starts, Gonsolin has allowed just 1 earned run in 13.0 innings. His last 2 starts have basically been perfect, pitching 10.0 innings without allowing a run. He also has allowed 4 hits over these last 2 starts and should have little problem shutting down the Diamondbacks.
There is absolutely nothing about Zach Davies that says he is going to have success against a loaded Dodgers’ lineup. From top to bottom, the Dodgers are one of the best offenses and with a pitcher who has shut down every team he has faced, expecting the Dodgers to cruise to an easy win will be the play.
