A big Tuesday of sports is expected, which 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 night, including action from the NHL, NBA, and MLB.

Each pick is taken from a different sport with a second pick from the NHL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1318 with FanDuel — more than 13/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.

Best MLB Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds ML (-146), 6:40 p.m ET

Cincinnati is the top-scoring team in the majors by averaging over six runs per game. Some of their hot bats have cooled but there is the potential there for this to be a very good hitting team. The Reds still need their bullpen to improve. Not a ton of effort was put into that area and it could end up coming back to hurt them. The Reds will start Luis Castillo, who has been inconsistent to start the year. However, when he is on, he can still make batters look silly. We like him in this spot to have a bounce back game, so backing the Reds will be our play.

Best NHL Pick: New York Rangers ML (+108) vs. New York Islanders, 7:08 p.m ET

The Rangers have three games left against the Isles and they’ll probably need to win all three if they want any chance to catch them in the standings. It helps that the Islanders have been slumping recently as well. They have lost three out of their last five games and have only scored more than one goal in one of those games. Given the momentum the Rangers have coming into this game, we will back them here to win.

Best NBA Pick: Orlando Magic vs. Atlanta Hawks Over 217.5 Points (-110), 7:40 p.m ET

The Hawks have recently played three other teams ranking in the bottom 10 in defensive rating in the Grizzlies, Bulls and Pacers, and each game total smashed passed the 220-point mark. The Hawks are only average defensively themselves, which should allow the Magic to surpass the 100-point mark. With Trae Young running the show and Clint Capela being a dominant rebounder, we like this total to soar over.

Best NHL Pick: Detroit Red Wings vs. Dallas Stars -1.5 (+112), 8:38 p.m ET

Dallas has been playing great defense, holding opponents to 2.43 goals per game, the fifth best. They’re also limiting opponents’ total shots to only 27.3 per game, the third best in the NHL. The Red Wings have the second worst powerplay in the league while the Stars have the sixth best. In their last 10 games, the Stars are averaging a .943 SVP, so they should have a solid chance at getting a comfortable win here.
