This is the time of year when it becomes a bit difficult if you are looking for good betting options as the sports action is starting to slow down. The NBA and NHL Playoffs are still going on, but other than that, it is just baseball that is going to be available to you.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t still win some money, especially if you are looking to make a parlay. Here is a look at a Monday parlay that you should put together to come up with a big win when wagering on sports.

Florida Panthers vs. Vegas Golden Knights -140
The first game that you should look at including in your Monday parlay for June 5 is Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. The Vegas Golden Knights picked up a 5-2 win in the series opener, and they are trying to take a 2-0 series lead.
Florida has been a great team to include in a parlay bet throughout the playoffs as they have been extremely hot. The Panthers have pulled off three straight impressive upsets, but they look like they might be meeting their match in this series.
Betting guides will tell you that the Vegas Golden Knights are the favorites in this series for a reason, as they have plenty of big game experience. Vegas not only can score like they did in Game 1, but goaltender Adin Hill has been shutting teams down as well.
- Expect that this game will be closer than a 5-2 final like in Game 1, but the Golden Knights at -140 is the best bet to make in this game.
Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres -1.5
If you are looking to bet on sports on Monday, then you are going to have to take a close look at the slate of MLB games that are on the calendar. The Chicago Cubs visit the San Diego Padres to wrap up a four-game series on Monday night.
Chicago has actually won two of the first three games of this series, but the Padres are pretty big moneyline betting favorites in this one. Most people tend to look to bet on entertainment when they think of California, but San Diego has a terrific MLB team.
- Taking the Padres at -175 on the moneyline is a decent option, but it’s even smarter to get them on the run line at -1.5. San Diego is a team to include in your Monday parlay, as they will cruise to a big win.
Oakland Athletics vs. Pittsburgh Pirates -195
Since you can’t bet on esports and throw it into a parlay, adding a second baseball bet is the way to go. There is a matchup in Pittsburgh on Monday night that looks pretty good as the Pirates are set to host the Oakland Athletics.
The Oakland Athletics look like they might end up being the worst team in baseball history, as they have just 12 total wins through the first two months of the season. Pittsburgh has been a major surprise this season as they have gone 31-27 through the first 59 games played.
Baseball can be a strange game at times, and there are going to be surprises every single night throughout the league. Don’t expect that to happen in this game, though as the Athletics don’t look like they will be able to beat anyone.
Pittsburgh Pirates is a team that is hitting .248 on the season as a team, and they also have a team ERA of just 3.93. Oakland has a team ERA of 6.70, and getting outs in this series is going to be a serious challenge.
- Add the Pittsburgh Pirates -195 to your Monday parlay, as they will take control of the Athletics from the beginning and cruise to a big win.
