We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including action from the NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1306 at DraftKings. Let’s break down each of these plays.
NHL: Edmonton Oilers vs Columbus Blue Jackets – Over 6.5 goals (-120), 1:05 pm ET
One thing the Blue Jackets have succeeded at this year is goalscoring. They rank 15th, but they have consistently floated near the top 12 in the league. The Oilers are getting things together defensively, but they will still allow some goals against this team.
On the other side of the equation, things are even simpler. Edmonton should light up the Blue Jackets offensively, as they have two of the best offensive talents in the world, and a supporting cast that can team up for some big games. Take the over.

MLB: St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+115) vs Cincinnati Reds, 1:40 pm ET
The Cardinals are looking to complete a sweep when Adam Wainwright (40) takes the bump for his 4th start of the season. It’s been so far so good for the vet, who’s pitching to a 2.81 ERA with 19 Ks across 16.0 innings. Wainwright is due for some regression, but shouldn’t be too concerned going up against an abysmal Reds lineup.
For the Reds, Nick Lodolo will make his third career major league start and saw some improvement in his second outing, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits while sitting down 8 across 5 innings of work. Despite the improvement from Lodolo, 11 straight losses is too glaring a fact to ignore. The money line is a decent play, but considering 11 of the Reds’ 13 losses have been by at least 2 runs, the run line is the recommended play.

NBA: Golden State Warriors -4 (-115) vs Denver Nuggets, 3:30 pm ET
The Golden State Warriors took a commanding 3-0 series lead with their win on Thursday night in Denver. The Nuggets have simply had no answers for the Warriors’ offense in this series and outside of Nikola Jokic, they aren’t getting nearly enough contributions to keep pace offensively. Given the degree of difficulty it would take to mount a comeback in this series and the noticeable signs of exhaustion and defeat that Denver has displayed, the Warriors have a great chance to finish this series in 4 games.

MLS: Los Angeles FC ML (-110) vs FC Cincinnati, 5:00 pm ET
Los Angeles FC have consistently been among the MLS leaders in scoring, even though they missed the postseason somewhat surprisingly in 2021. That has just made them even hungrier this year, and they go to Ohio leading the West with 16 points. They have scored 11 goals in the past 4 matches, and if they find the back of the net multiple times again, which they should, they should take all 3 points back to California. Take LAFC on the money line.
