March Madness is approaching, the World Baseball Classic is underway, college baseball is on the docket, and both the NHL and NBA are in full swing.
The sports calendar is jam-packed at the moment, which means there are plenty of betting opportunities on the slate for Friday, March 6.
Here at Action Network, we have already published our NBA best bets, college basketball best bets, and Sean Zerillo's World Baseball Classic projections, but what about a cumulative file? Or a cross-sport parlay for Friday, March 6?
Well, look no further. Here are today's best bets — across multiple sports — and cross-sport parlay picks.
NCAAB Best Bet
If Seton Hall wants to keep its (very) slim at-large hopes alive, it needs to beat St. John’s in the final Big East game of the regular season.
The Pirates played the Johnnies close in the first game, losing by five after holding a 15-point second-half lead. Hall used its patented physical style of play to grab nearly half its misses (18 offensive rebounds!) and hold St. John’s to just over one point per possession.
The glass will be key again, as Hall looks to show the Johnnies — another fantastic rebounding team — that it’s the master of the boards in the Big East.
St. John’s has plenty to play for with the No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament on the line, but the Pirates are fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives, and revenge is on their minds.

NBA Best Bet
Jalen Brunson had 42-and-9 against the Nuggets last month — the game went to double overtime, but still.
In in two games against the Nuggets last season, Brunson had 30-and-15 and 23-and-17.
The return of Aaron Gordon will help Denver's defense, but that won't be enough to slow Brunson.

World Baseball Classic Best Bet
You have to lay the runs with the Americans.
I don't see Brazil staying within 13 or 14 unless the United States takes its foot off the gas, but I don't see that happening.
It's not like some regular-season game in August where players swing away on first pitches against position players.
You may only get one chance to play in the WBC. These guys will make it count.

NHL Best Bet
Action PRO projects Canadiens left wing Juraj Slafkovsky for 1.95 shots on goal tonight, a great 10.7% edge against the market when compared to his line of 2.5.
He has gone under this line in three of his past five games, with totals of 2, 1, and 0 in those contests.
