After a rough day yesterday, going just 1-3, I need to change things up a bit here. That’s why today is Parlay Day! I’m not a huge parlay guy, if just one thing goes wrong it messes up the entire bet, but I’m going with a relatively safe 5 game parlay. If I were to make these bets individually, it wouldn’t pay much. Put ’em altogether and it’s a pretty good win if it hits. So let’s make it hit then!
Today’s Bet: MLB, NBA, & NHL Parlay
New York Yankees (at home against Tampa Bay Rays), LA Clippers (at home against Minnesota Timberwolves), Dallas Mavericks (at home against Sacramento Kings), New York Rangers (on the road against New Jersey Devils), Pittsburgh Penguins (on the road against Buffalo Sabres)
Bet $100, win $329
Reasoning:
Every pick in this parlay is just for the team to win outright. Let’s start with the Yankees. They have to start winning games eventually, so why not today with their ace, Gerrit Cole, on the mound. As bad as the Yankees have been this season, Cole is 2-0 with a sub 1.5 ERA. Next up, the NBA. I simply picked two good teams who are playing at home against two bad teams. I did the same thing with my two NHL picks, except those teams are on the road.
