We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday, including picks from the MLB and MLS. Two picks each are taken from the MLS and MLB and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +858 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let's break down each of these plays.
MLB: San Francisco Giants ML (-190) over Arizona Diamondbacks, 6:10 pm ET
The projected starters for Monday evening are Carlos Rodon for the Giants and Madison Bumgarner for the Diamondbacks. Rodon has been solid all year, going 7-4 in 15 starts with an ERA of 2.62. His June was even better, posting an ERA of 1.25. Bumgarner has been much less effective, going 3-8 in 16 starts with an ERA of 3.63. His June was a nightmare, however, posting an ERA of 4.06.
Offensively, both teams rank in the bottom 10 in team average and OPS in the last 15 days, so because Rodon has been the much more effective starter throughout the season, backing the Giants will be the play.

MLS: Austin FC vs Colorado Rapids – Under 2.5 goals (+110), 9:00 pm ET
The main problem with the Colorado Rapids is that they cannot keep up when teams are scoring freely. They have yet to win a match when their opponents have scored, so their defense should be well organized.
