We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday, including action from college basketball, the EPL, NHL and NBA.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1428 with DraftKings; that’s more than 14/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United ML (+105), 2:30pm ET
Two of the Premier League’s most improved teams this season meet at the London Stadium and West Ham looks a solid bet to beat Brighton. The Hammers have beaten Genk (Europa League), Tottenham and Liverpool as well as eliminating Manchester City from the EFL Cup in their home games since mid-October.
Brighton, meanwhile, has faltered since a strong start and the Seagulls are winless in 9 games in all competitions, so are worth fading in the 2012 Olympic stadium. Brighton has scored only 6 goals in 6 league road games this season.

NBA: Atlanta Hawks ML (-105) vs Indiana Pacers, 7:10pm ET
The Pacers’ injury situation could leave Domantas Sabonis matched up against Clint Capela, a player he could struggle against. Sabonis has scored 20 or more points just once in his last 4 games, and the presence of Capela could keep him from dominating the offensive boards. He will also have to deal with Trae Young in pick-and-roll situations. Since he provides little rim protection, Young should be able to exploit him and fully utilize his lob passes.
Myles Turner is also one of the most reliable 3-point shooters in the Pacers’ squad, and they will miss his ability to stretch the floor with him being ruled out. The Hawks should be able to crowd the paint, and make scoring for the Pacers very tough on the inside. Back the Hawks to come away with a win.

College Basketball: Virginia Tech Hokies vs Maryland Terrapins – Under 132 points (-110), 7:15pm ET
Virginia Tech and Maryland have played a combined 14 games to begin the season and the under is 10-3-1 in those games. While both teams average 71 points a game on offense, their defenses are the story. The Hokies have the No. 2 scoring defense in the country, allowing only 57 points per game on average. The Terrapins, on the other hand, rank in the top 50 in blocks per game with 5 and they have 3 different players who average at least 1 block per game. Both teams play at a slow pace and are very difficult to score against, so this game could finish somewhere in the 120s.

NHL: Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings ML (+100), 7:38pm ET
The Kraken have struggled with consistency in their inaugural season and they are giving up a ton of goals. Only 3 teams are allowing more goals per game than Seattle (3.50), so Detroit’s strong top line should be looking to do some damage. Seattle has also had some shaky goaltending from Philipp Grubauer, who is the expected starter. He is posting a pedestrian .890 save percentage to go along with a 3.03 GAA. Look for Detroit’s offense to take advantage of a poor Seattle defense and claim a 4th consecutive win.
