We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including picks from the MLB, Premier Lacrosse League, MLS and Wimbledon. One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1052 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
Wimbledon: Nick Kyrgios -1.5 games (-120) over Stefanos Tsitsipas, 11:30 am ET
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios just faced each other a couple of weeks ago in Halle, where Kyrgios prevailed 5-7 6-2 6-4 to take a 3-1 lead in the overall head-to-head series. There is no reason to think Tsitsipas is going to turn the tide at Wimbledon.
After all, grass is the Aussie’s best surface, while it is most definitely Tsitsipas’ worst. In 5 appearances at the All-England Club, this is just the 23-year-old Greek’s second trip out of the first round, and he has never reached the quarterfinals. Kyrgios destroyed Filip Krajinovic 6-2 6-3 6-1 on Thursday and if he plays anything like that today, he should not have too much trouble with Tsitsipas.
MLB: Miami Marlins ML (-120) over Washington Nationals, 4:05 pm ET
Daniel Castano has already pitched 6.0 or more innings in 2 starts this year. He managed 7.0 innings against the red-hot Mets last time out, allowing a 2-run dinger but holding the Mets scoreless with 4 hits otherwise.
Add in the fact that the Marlins have won 9 of their last 10 games against the Nationals, and backing the Marlins today looks to be well worth a shot.

MLS: Seattle Sounders vs Toronto FC – Both teams to score and over 2.5 total goals (-120), 7:30 pm ET

Premier Lacrosse League: Whipsnakes vs Waterdogs – Under 24.5 goals (-115), 8:45 pm ET
The Waterdogs come into this game with the second most productive offense in the league, while the Whipsnakes have the second most productive defense. When teams have conflicting strengths, that doesn’t bode well for the over, as the strong defense plays a role in at least slowing the scoring.
Two major differences from the first matchup are the presence of NLL Champions goalie Dillon Ward (Waterdogs) and Zedd Williams (Whipsnakes). If Ward replaces Matt Deluca (45 SV%) it could offset the immediate impact we saw Zedd make in Week 4 (1 goal, 1 assist). While it’s never fun to root for defenses, backing the under looks to be worth a play.
