We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday, including action from Champions League, college basketball, the EPL and the NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1058 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Liverpool ML and Over 3.5 goals (-130) vs Leeds United, 2:45 pm ET
The visitors’ record against the top teams in the Premier League suggests a high-scoring home victory is in the cards at Anfield. Leeds have lost 7 of their 8 games against the current top six, including heavy defeats to City (7-0), Liverpool (3-0 at Elland Road), Arsenal (4-1) and Manchester United (5-1 and 4-2).
Sunday’s 4-2 home loss to the Red Devils encapsulated Leeds’s strengths and weaknesses as they fought back from 2-0 down to 2-2 before being undermined by defensive frailties once again and things are unlikely to improve against red-hot Liverpool.

Champions League: Benfica vs Ajax ML (-140), 3:00 pm ET
Ajax has been the dominant force in the Netherlands again this season but has also impressed in European competition, winning all 6 of its Champions League group games. The Dutch club won home and away against Sporting Lisbon, Borussia Dortmund and Besiktas in Group C and can record another win in their last-16 first-leg game against Benfica. With the Champions League’s top scorer this season Sebastien Haller leading the offense, Ajax should have too much for the home team.

College basketball: Xavier Musketeers vs Providence Friars -1 (-110), 7:00 pm ET
Providence is having a magical season this season, winning numerous games by one possession. The Friars may not have the best team on paper but they have found a way to win 22 games this season. They also have just one home loss (Villanova), and I expect them to start another home win streak here. The spread is too short for this game, and I am riding with Providence at home.

NHL: Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars – Under 5.5 goals (+100), 7:35 pm ET
These teams have played tight head-to-head games this season twice already and this should be no different. All 4 goalies between the 2 teams have a goals-against at or under 2.80 and a save percentage at or above .912. Nothing otherworldly but the goaltending matchup is solid especially considering weaker offenses in this game. With more at stake as each game goes by, the Stars and Jets will play a little bit tighter and might be afraid to make mistakes. That makes for a lot of containment, play between the tops of the circles, and low scoring.
