We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday night including action from the MLB, EPL, and NFL.
Two picks are taken from the MLB with one each from the EPL and NFL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1399 with DraftKings; that’s more than 13/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Everton vs Burnley: Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime (+105), 3pm ET
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored 16 league goals last season and has picked up where he left off by netting in each of the Toffees’ three EPL games. The 24-year-old has been playing through the pain of a toe injury for Everton but withdrew from England’s recent World Cup qualifiers to rest, so he should be fit to start.
The Everton sharpshooter netted in both Premier League meetings with the Clarets last season and also grabbed the winner against Sean Dyche’s men at Goodison Park the year before. Burnley have collected just 1 point from their first 3 games, conceding 5 goals, and a confident Calvert-Lewin, who also takes his team’s penalty kicks, is worthy of an anytime goalscorer wager on Monday.

MLB: St. Louis Cardinals (-115) vs New York Mets, 7:10pm ET
The Cardinals seem to have the momentum going into this matchup, as they have won 4 out of their last 5 games. Adam Wainwright will be on the mound for the Cardinals, and he has been their most consistent starter this season. St. Louis is 18-10 in Wainwright’s 28 starts on the year. In addition, they have won 7 of his last 8 starts since the beginning of August.
Rich Hill will take the ball for the Mets. In 4 starts at Citi Field as a Met, he has an ERA of 6.00. The Mets are 3-5 in his 8 starts in a New York uniform. This could be a letdown spot for the Mets, and backing Wainwright at this price seems like a solid play. Consider the Cardinals.

NFL: Baltimore Ravens vs Las Vegas Raiders – Under 50 (-110), 8:15pm ET
The under makes a lot of sense in this spot. There are serious questions about how this Las Vegas offensive line is going to hold up. Baltimore should once again have an elite pass-rush and the Raiders are going to be starting at least a couple of very inexperienced players on their offensive line. Right tackle Alex Leatherwood is a rookie making his NFL debut. Andre James is replacing Rodney Hudson at center, and he didn’t play a single offensive snap last year. The 2019 UDFA never even played center in college at UCLA.
On the other side, the Raiders’ defense should be at least a bit better than it was last year; it can’t really be much worse. The signings of Yannick Ngakoue and Casey Hayward provide at least a little bit of hope. Ngakoue and Maxx Crosby form a pretty solid pass-rushing duo, and the secondary should be improved under new DC Gus Bradley. Don’t expect a shootout.

MLB: Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners ML (+105), 10:10pm ET
Seattle rookie Logan Gilbert has been hot-and-cold since he first came up in May, but when he’s been at his best, he’s been electric. Gilbert went the entire 2-month stretch of June and July without taking a loss, with his most memorable performance being a 7-inning, 1-hit effort to beat the Yankees just before the All-Star break. While his August was abysmal, he has bounced back with two strong September outings against the Astros, showing again that he has what it takes to deliver his best stuff in his team’s biggest games. Take Seattle.
