We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday night, including action from the MLS, NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the NHL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +868 with DraftKings; that’s more than 8/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NBA: Chicago Bulls ML (+115) vs Philadelphia 76ers, 7:10pm ET
The Chicago Bulls are looking for their third win in a row as they head to Philadelphia tonight. At 6-1 they are tied with the Heat and Jazz for the best record in the NBA, but nobody expected them to be so good this early on. They are coming off a big win at Boston, after coming back from being down as much as 19 points.
Philadelphia is also off to a solid start, despite all the drama around the team. They have also had a relatively easy schedule, beating lesser teams in the Pelicans, Thunder, Pistons and the struggling Blazers. The Bulls are just a much better team right now, especially with Philly struggling to have a consistent starting line-up. Take the Bulls to win this one.

MLS: Houston Dynamo vs CF Montreal ML (-205), 7:30pm ET
CF Montreal know that it’s all or nothing tonight if they want to make the playoffs again in 2021. Luckily for Montreal, they’ve got a home game against one of the worst teams in the league, a squad with nothing to play for. That’s Houston, who have had another disaster of a year, currently sitting amid their Texan rivals Dallas and Austin a long way down from anyone else in the West. It’s already been a few weeks since the Dynamo were eliminated, but that hasn’t stopped them from continuing to lose. They’ve dropped 3 straight, including 2 at home in which they were shut out both times. Montreal should keep things interesting with a win on Wednesday. Take them on the money line.

NHL: Nashville Predators vs Edmonton Oilers ML (-210), 7:30pm ET
One of the hottest teams in the league early on, the Edmonton Oilers come into this game with an offense that is easily one of the best in the entire NHL. Scoring 3 or more goals in 7 out of 8 games this year, the Oilers are outscoring their opponents at an alarming rate. Leader and star Connor McDavid has managed to rack up at least 1 point or more in every single game.
To compliment the offense, the Oilers are getting outstanding goaltending from both Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen. Smith is expected to return for this matchup and in 3 starts this year he is posting a .920 save percentage. Take the Oilers on the money line and expect Edmonton to be just too much for an inconsistent Nashville squad.

NHL: Carolina Hurricanes – Win in Regulation (+105) vs Chicago Blackhawks, 8:38pm ET
These teams played 5 nights ago, with the Hurricanes winning 6-3, and have started the season in completely different ways. The Hurricanes are 2nd in goals for, 1st in expected goals for per 60, and 1st in goals against. The Blackhawks are near the bottom in all those same categories, ranking 22nd in goals for, 30th in expected goals for per 60 and last in goals against.
Expect the Hurricanes to come away with the win, but maybe not by 2 or more goals. The value lies with the 3-way result, win in regulation for the Hurricanes as you still get the positive odds.
