We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Sunday, including action from the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final, MLS and the MLB.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the MLB. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +2335 with BetMGM: that’s over 23/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.
MLB pick: Baltimore Orioles vs Detroit Tigers – Under 10 Runs (-105), 1:10pm ET
The total has gone under in 8 of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. In 4 of the last 5 home games for Detroit, the under has cashed as well. Of all the Tigers’ home games, 61% have stayed beneath the posted total, which is the highest percentage in the AL. The only way this game reaches double-digits is if the bullpen is involved early, as both the Tigers and Orioles carry the worst bullpen ERA in the AL. Five of the last 7 games for Baltimore have stayed under the given total as well, so take the under 10 as no game in this series has reached the double-digit mark.

MLB pick: New York Yankees -1.5 (+110) vs Miami Marlins, 1:10pm ET
The Yankees added some punch to their lineup with the additions of Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo made a nice early impression hitting a homer for the Yankees on Friday night in the win over Miami. Maybe it helped to be in an NL park for that first game. For the Yankees to catch Tampa and Boston they need those bats to hit well and the pitching to hold while it gets a little healthier over the course of the month.
No matter who the Marlins put out there they are not going to have a great chance at a win at home against a surging New York team. The safe bet is taking New York on the run line to get the best value with what looks like a pretty safe play.

MLS pick: Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union -1 (+170), 6pm ET
Kacper Przybylko has been with the Union for 3 years since coming over from Kaiserslautern in Germany, but his last 3 games have proven to a fanbase that still struggles to pronounce his name what an asset he’s been to their team. Not only has Przybylko scored in 3 straight matches, but he’s found the goal late in the second half in all of them, scoring an equalizer in one and a winner in another, both past the 80th minute. Philadelphia should have no issues disposing of Chicago, whose last away match resulted in an ugly 5-1 loss in Nashville. The spread is always risky in soccer, but some days, it’s the right play, so expect the Union to win by at least 2.

CONCACAF Gold Cup Final pick: USA vs Mexico ML (+120), 8:30pm ET
You could argue Mexico is the most complete team in the entire Gold Cup field. Even with the exclusion of Javier Hernandez and the early injury to Hirving Lozano, their offense has not missed a beat. They lead the field in average expected goals. In addition to their stellar offense their defense is top notch. They also lead the Gold Cup in average expected goals allowed.
As unfortunate as it sounds, I do believe it’s Mexico who is lifting the cup at the end of the night. The United States has not looked like the team to beat. With so much top talent sitting out, making it to the finals should be considered a win. As such, I will be taking Mexico moneyline for the championship game.
