We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Wednesday, including action from the NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, MLB and the Euro 2020 soccer tournament.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1214 with BetMGM — that’s more than 12/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.
Best Euro 2020 pick: Switzerland vs. Italy -1 (+170), 3pm ET
The Italians did not allow opponents Turkey a single shot on target in their opening fixture while their offense, and especially their wide players, looked exciting and could have netted more than three goals. Roberto Mancini’s side has won its last nine matches — all by at least two goals — so don’t be afraid of taking Italy -1 goal on the three-way spread.

Best MLB pick: San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies under 12 runs (-115), 3:10pm ET
Totals will always be inflated at Coors Field due to the dimensions and altitude, but the way the Rockies have been hitting this year, in their first season without Nolan Arenado, there’s no way to justify the over with a total as high as 12. Blake Snell has struggled in his first season in the National League, but he’s fared better against Colorado than he has overall and he’s still just three years removed from a Cy Young award.
Snell doesn’t go very deep into games, but the Padres have the best bullpen ERA in baseball. As long as Kyle Freeland doesn’t implode the way he did last week, the under should be the play.

Best NHL pick: Montreal Canadiens vs. Vegas Golden Knights -1.5 (+105), 9:08pm ET
The Golden Knights have incredible depth which should continue to help them in Game 2. During the postseason, the Knights have the most points by defensemen with 37 in 14 games. Montreal has only 13 points from defensemen in 12 games. The contributions from Vegas’ blue-line have proved to be a difference-maker through the first two rounds and that was a major factor to their Game 1 victory. The Knights’ blueliners had six points in Game 1. During the regular season, the Knights went 21-5-2 on home ice, while the Habs went 11-10-7 on the road. With Knights fans creating one of the loudest atmospheres in hockey, the Knights should have a clear home-ice advantage for Game 2. For the sake of this parlay, take Vegas on the money line, however we also like the Vegas puck line.

Best NBA pick: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Utah Jazz under 221.5 points (-110), 10pm ET
Utah has now been held to 106 or fewer points in back-to-back games and the Clippers have come up with a good defensive strategy for forcing Donovan Mitchell’s teammates to beat them. Los Angeles has been scoring a lot in the past couple of games, but only because they’ve been scorching hot from beyond the arc. If their shooting dries up a bit on the road their offense could tank quickly, because they won’t get much around the rim with Rudy Gobert roaming the paint.
