We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Thursday, including picks from the MLB, college football and NFL. One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from college football. A winning ticket would give us a very nice payout with odds of +1035 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Let’s break down each of these plays.

MLB pick today: Texas Rangers ML over Los Angeles Angels (-150), 2:05 pm ET

Texas can close out this series with a win and they will have their ace on the mound. Lefty Martin Perez was once a top AL Cy Young candidate, and owned the Angels the last time he faced them. In fact, he’s done so to most teams this season. His only struggles in the past 2 and half months were to the AL-best Astros. When Perez last took on the Angels, he held them to just 1 run and 3 hits over 7.0 innings. Because Perez has been largely dominant this season, backing the Rangers will be the play.

College Football pick today: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers -2 over Georgia State Panthers (-110), 7:30 pm ET

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will travel to Atlanta tonight to play the Georgia State Panthers in a Sun Belt East matchup. Grayson McCall is in his third full year as the Coastal Carolina starting quarterback and has performed admirably with 64 combined touchdowns, only 6 interceptions and a 70.1% completion rate. The junior signal caller has propelled his team to a 3-0 start, albeit none of the wins coming by more than 12 points. Army, Gardner-Webb and Buffalo aren’t necessarily the toughest competition to begin their season but Georgia State hasn’t been sharp either as they enter this game 0-3. At this short line, backing the Chanticleers who have the better quarterback and have shown more consistency early in the season will be the play.

College Football pick today: West Virginia Mountaineers -2.5 over Virginia Tech Hokies (-115), 7:30 pm ET

Lane Stadium should be rocking when the Virginia Tech Hokies welcome in the West Virginia Mountaineers. On the surface, this West Virginia defense looks like they’ve played pretty terribly. But they’ve been much better than the scores of the games might indicate, allowing just 328 total yards per game. Going up against an already lousy offense for the Hokies, the Mountaineers should have better results defensively in this one, therefore backing them to win and cover will be the play.

NFL pick today: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns – Under 38 points (-110), 8:15 pm ET

Because this is a short week for both teams, both offenses could have their hands full against these stout defenses. Look for both teams to be run-heavy in their approach, especially given that’s where their strength lies. It is also worth noting that since the start of last season, Thursday Night Football games are 13-5 to the under. When the total is at 40 or below, these games are 15-5 to the under since 2010. For that reason, backing the under will be the play.
