Check out this yummy three-sport +286 parlay

What a two-year run for UConn. Not only have they now won two straight titles, but they've covered the spread in every single tournament game. That's just an unbelievable run of dominance. Yes, by the way, we did cash Huskies -6.5 last night to end our college hoops season right.

We're back to the pros for Tuesday's looks, touching a bit of everything as we gear up for the full MLB season to come and the playoffs in the NBA and NHL.

Propping up the day with a trio of players

We're opting for three juiced legs across the three major sports, parlayed together at a solid price.

MLB leg: Ty France to record a hit

Seattle's Ty France is fresh off a three-hit night, and the Mariners first baseman is now officially rolling. France has a base knock in seven straight games, averaging 1.4 hits per game on the season.

Now, France has the pleasure of beginning his day against Chris Bassitt on the rubber. In 15 plate appearances against Bassitt, France has a .462 batting average with five singles and a double. We'll gladly back France's hot hitting to continue, especially when we see he has six hits in his past four games against Toronto.

NBA leg: Cade Cunningham over 0.5 steals

Cade Cunningham is rolling on the defensive side of things, nabbing a steal in six straight games and eight of his last nine. He's recored 2+ swipes in three of his last four, and now he's facing a Philadelphia team that turns the ball over at the fifth-highest frequency in the NBA.

Eight straight PGs have notched a steal against the Sixers, including two straight finishing with two. Cunningham had a steal last meeting, we'll happily back him to do it again.

NHL leg: Victor Hedman to record a point

On the ice, one of the clearest spots for goal scoring resides in Tampa Bay, as the Lightning host the lowly Blue Jackets. Columbus is allowing 4.0 goals per game on the road over the last month, and there's a significant power-play edge that favors Tampa scoring some goals.

Hedman just had three points last game and he has eight points in his last six at home. Against Columbus, the Lightning defenseman has a point in seven of the past eight meetings, piling up 10 total points.

Altogether, these three props can be parlayed at +286 on ESPN BET. 


In the news ...

UConn wins National Championship — For the first time since the Florida Gators pulled it off in 2006 and 2007, we have a back-to-back NCAAB champion in the Connecticut Huskies. The game started as a tight, back-and-forth affair, but UConn pulled ahead of Purdue in the second half, winning 75-60. This dominating run squarely puts the Huskies among the all-time great programs, and they're currently sitting at 14-1 to run it back next season. Duke is the favorite at 10-1 with heralded recruit Cooper Flagg set to join the Blue Devils as a freshman.

It's Masters Week — It's officially Masters Week, and we have you covered as you prep your bets, DFS tournaments, and the like. The favorites are Scottie Scheffler (+400), Rory McIlroy (+1000), Jon Rahm (+1100) and Xander Schauffele (+1400). Scheffler is obviously priced as the man to beat, but we'd like to continue looking around the board for some betting value. Yardbarker's golf expert Jack Doughtery dug into the box at Augusta and found us a few outright winner bets of interest, namely Brooks Koepka (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (25-1) and Wyndham Clark (35-1). Be sure to explore his betting breakdowns as he makes the case for a few from this week's field.

Minnesota Timberwolves get good news on status of Karl-Anthony Towns — Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a torn left meniscus in early March and he was immediately ruled out for at least one month, but it seems a return to the court is coming soon. KAT scrimmaged on Sunday with the team, and there is a growing expectation that he will be ready for the start of the playoffs. This is massive news for a Minnesota team that has more than held their own without star big, going 11-5 in his absence. The Timberwolves are currently tied for the best record in the West, yet, you can grab them at +1000 to win the conference.
