Tonight is one of the most exciting nights in sports betting: The Sports Equinox!
A "betting holiday" that occurs when the four major North American pro leagues — MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL — are all in action simultaneously.
To celebrate the only instance of this event in 2025, we've compiled our list of Sports Equinox best bets and picks for all four leagues, from the World Series and Monday Night Football to action on the hardwood and the ice.

Sports equinox picks - World Series Game 3
Dodgers -1.5 (+110 at Caesars)
Toronto went 40-41 on the highway during the regular season, with its ISO dropping from seventh at home to 20th away from the Rogers Centre. The Dodgers are going to put too many runs on the board for the Blue Jays to keep up in Game 3.
See our full analysis and Toronto/LA SGP in our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions.
George Springer Over 1.5 total bases (+110 at BetMGM)
Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow prefers to attack right-handed batters with four-seamers (32.2%), sliders (26.5%), and sinkers (23.9%). Springer has mashed those three pitches more than any other offering, and is 6-for-13 with a 1.192 OPS against the towering right-hander.
Will Smith Over 1.5 total bases (+130 at BetMGM)
Toronto's Game 3 starter, Max Scherzer, attacks righties with essentially two pitches, throwing his four-seamer 47.6% of the time and his slider 34.5% of the time. One Dodgers bat who stands to capitalize is catcher Will Smith, who crushes both pitches (183 wRC+ against four-seamers, 171 against sliders).
Tyler Glasnow Over 5.5 strikeouts (-145 at BetMGM)
Glasnow has 18 strikeouts in 13 1/3 postseason innings, along with a 29% K-rate this season, and has racked up at least six punchouts in eight of his last 10 genuine starts (excluding a 36-pitch cameo against Seattle to end the regular season).
See full analysis in our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Game 3 prop picks.
George Springer to hit a home run (+375 at BetMGM)
Springer hit for a ton of power vs. right-handed pitching this season (24 homers, .261 ISO) and has homered three times in his last nine playoff games.
Shohei Ohtani to hit a home run (+145 at BetMGM)
Shohei posted a ridiculous .378 ISO against right-handed pitching during the regular season, and Scherzer gave up a lot of power to left-handed bats this year; he allowed 2.5 homers per nine innings and a near -.300 ISO.
See full analysis in our Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Game 3 home run picks.
Shohei Ohtani Over 0.5 RBI (+105 at BetMGM)
Ohtani profiles very well against Scherzer’s pitch mix, as he managed a .282 ISO or higher against each of Mad Max's five pitches during the regular season, while the Dodgers' slugger has knocked in seven runs over six home playoff games thus far.
See full analysis, and our Shohei Ohtani SGP, in our Shohei Ohtani picks spotlight.
Tyler Glasnow Over 1.5 walks (-115 at BET99)
Glasnow ranks in the seventh percentile in walks, averaging 2.1 per game, and has walked 2+ batters in each of his three outings this postseason. The Blue Jays are also baseball's peskiest lineup, averaging 3.2 walks per game this postseason (prior to Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s gem in Game 2).

Sports equinox picks - Monday Night Football
Marcus Mariota anytime TD (+400 at bet365)
In his two starts this year, Mariota has eight carries for 80 yards and a score, and he’s previously been priced shorter at +280 and +360 in similar spots. The Chiefs allowed Trevor Lawrence to rush 10 times for 54 yards and two touchdowns the last time they appeared on Monday night, and with Washington entering as a double-digit underdog, Mariota should be forced to drop back often, creating plenty of scramble opportunities.
See our full analysis and Washington/Kansas City SGP in our Commanders vs. Chiefs predictions.
Deebo Samuel Under 1.5 rush attempts (+135 at bet365)
Samuel has only eight rush attempts through six games this season. He's also been dealing with a heel injury, which caused him to miss last week’s game, and makes you believe Washington will not want him running the ball too much outside of his catches.
Rashee Rice Over 6.5 receptions (+125 at bet365)
The Commanders defense ranks 24th in overall passing efficiency and 25th in passing yards allowed. They've also allowed an opposing player to have at least seven receptions in two of the last four games.
Patrick Mahomes longest completion Over 38.5 yards (-115 at bet365)
Washington ranks 25th in the NFL in defending long passes, allowing 55.4 yards per game on passes of at least 20+ air yards (good for 28th in the league), and Mahomes has all his receivers back with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Tyquan Thornton.
See full analysis in our Commanders vs. Chiefs prop picks.
Patrick Mahomes Over 23.5 completions (+100 at bet365)
The Chiefs quarterback is completing 73.3% of his throws when he’s not being pressured, and the Commanders rank dead last in the league in yards allowed per attempt on plays where they don’t register a pressure — and will be missing three of their top outside pass rushers in this game. Mahomes has topped this total in three of his last four games and is averaging 35.4 pass attempts per game.
See full analysis, and our Patrick Mahomes SGP, in our Patrick Mahomes picks spotlight.
Rashee Rice anytime touchdown (-105 at bet365)
Rice returned from a suspension last week and saw 10 targets, including four in the red zone. He’s also shown that he’s capable of being a productive scorer, with 12 touchdowns in just 25 career games.

Sports Equinox picks: NBA
Cavaliers -2.5 (-110 at bet365)
The Cavs were 3-1 against the Pistons last season, covering the spread in two of those victories, and Kenny Atkinson’s squad has won 12 of its last 13 vs. Detroit.
See our full analysis and Cleveland/Detroit SGP in our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions.
Tyrese Maxey Over 2.5 threes (+120 at bet365)
The former Kentucky star is averaging 34 points per game across his first two outings, including 61% shooting from downtown and averaging 5.5 triples per game. He has cashed the Over in threes in both contests, going 7-for-9 in the season opener before draining 4 of 9 against Charlotte.
Victor Wembanyama Over 29.5 points (-115 at bet365)
The phenom is averaging 33.3 points through three games, dropping 31, 29, and 40 points. Wemby cannot be stopped right now, and the Toronto Raptors aren’t exactly an elite defensive team.
See full analysis and more props in our best NBA prop bets for October 27.
Anthony Davis Over 37.5 points+rebounds+assists (-115 at bet365)
Davis should have a big impact in the paint against the Thunder, who have allowed the second-most rebounds to opponents this season, including the fifth-most offensive boards and ranking 24th in defensive rebound percentage, while also allowing the 12th-most second-chance points.
See our full analysis and OKC/Dallas SGP in our Thunder vs. Mavericks predictions.
Naz Reid Over 12.5 points (-120 at bet365)
Reid scored at least 13 points in four of his last six regular-season matchups with the Denver Nuggets, and with Anthony Edwards possibly sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, someone’s got to get buckets if he's unable to go (or is less than 100%).

Sports equinox picks - NHL
Blues/Penguins Over 5.5 (-140 at Fanatics)
In his past six meetings with Pittsburgh, Blues goalie Jordan Binnington is 1-4-1 with a .890 SV% and 4.10 GAA. In fact, both offenses have generated high-danger scoring chances consistently this season, ranking in the top half of the league in expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF/60).
See our full analysis and St. Louis/Pittsburgh SGP in our Blues vs. Penguins predictions.
Jake Sanderson Over 0.5 points (-115 at Fanatics)
Sanderson ranks second on the Senators in shot attempts at home, having generated 28 through just five games. He’s getting involved in the offense and this is a good matchup as Boston has struggled mightily to keep the puck out, giving up 3.5 goals per game thus far.
