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 day, including action from the NHL, NBA, MLB and EPL.

Each pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +967 with BetMGM — more than 9/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.

Best EPL Pick: Leeds United vs. Southampton Over 2.5 Goals (-200), 1:00 p.m ET

Southampton has pulled clear of trouble thanks to entertaining home wins over Burnley (3-2), Crystal Palace (3-1), and Fulham (3-1), and there should be more goals when they host Leeds. The Saints’ attacking unit looks far more dangerous with top scorer Danny Ings fit again and youngster Nathan Tella impressed after coming off the bench against Fulham. Leeds’s forwards are also firing after beating Tottenham 3-1 and Burnley 4-0 in their last two outings and an enjoyable contest between two confident teams looks likely at St. Mary’s.

Best MLB Pick: San Francisco Giants ML (-110) vs. Cincinnati Reds, 6:40 p.m ET

For the Giants, Anthony DeSclafani is having a career season. He comes into this matchup with a 2.14 ERA in 46.1 innings and will return to the stadium he called home for six seasons. Luis Castillo has shown no signs of improvement in his last couple outings so continue to fade him and take the Giants to pick up their fifth win in their last seven games.

Best NHL Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers Over 6 Goals (-105), 8:08 p.m ET

Both teams have exceptional offensive talent and if this one plays out similarly to Game 1, it will easily hit the over. Tampa Bay averaged 3.21 goals per game during the regular season and Florida averaging 3.36. With a combined 79 shots in the first game, there’s no reason to think this one will be much different.

Best NBA Pick: Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics Under 232.5 Points (-110), 9:10 p.m ET

In a playoff atmosphere, Washington isn’t going to be playing as loosely as they usually do. Boston is likely to slow this game down to try to win a physical contest. The under is also a perfect 5-0 the last five times these teams have played each other. They played three times this season and there were never more than 223 total points scored, so a total in the 230s seems pretty high. For that reason, we will be backing the under.
