It might be the final day of the Masters, but there are still plenty of other sports to find value on. This means it is time to have some fun and look for some of the best bets across all the different sports and pile them into one parlay. We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay which will take you right through the day, including action from the NHL, NBA and MLB.

Each picks is taken from each sport with a second pick from the MLB. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1782 with FanDuel — more than 17/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.

Best MLB Pick: Chicago Cubs ML (-146) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, 1:05 p.m ET

Much like Pittsburgh, Chicago has also struggled at the plate, but their lineup has much more potential and should perform at a higher level throughout the course of the season. The Cubs will send Trevor Williams to the mound looking to secure the series victory, and he looked very sharp in his first outing. This current series is split 1-1, but Chicago should be able to pickup another series win against a Pittsburgh team that will not be able to put up runs consistently.

Best NHL Pick: Buffalo Sabres ML (+198) vs. Philadelphia Flyers, 2:08 p.m ET

One of Buffalo’s strengths is their 12^th ranked powerplay that is successful 22.2% of the time. This presents a nice edge to the Sabres as the Flyers own the league’s 28^th ranked penalty-kill. The Flyers have been very inconsistent and have failed to put consecutive strong performances together all year. Given the current odds for Buffalo, we like the Sabres to have a chance at the upset.

Best MLB Pick: Cincinnati Reds vs. Arizona Diamondbacks ML (-102), 4:10 p.m ET

The Reds will start Jose De Leon, who was surprisingly solid in his first start, However, even after giving up only two runs in five innings, his career ERA through 34.2 innings is still 7.79. Cincinnati’s offense has looked good, but it feels fluky with a bunch of no-names overachieving so far. As a result, we will back the Diamondbacks to pick up the win at home here.

Best NBA Pick: Toronto Raptors vs. New York Knicks Under 216.5 Points (-112), 8:10 p.m ET

The Raptors struggle on the second night of back-to-backs with their scoring being the main issue. It drops off from 112 points per game to just over 106. Both teams rank in the top six in the league in fast break points allowed so expect them to do a great job of keeping this game as a tough half court battle. Back the under with confidence here.
