Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Colorado Rapids host the LA Galaxy in DSG Park for the 2nd match of their best-of-3 Western Conference first-round playoff series. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

The Galaxy annihilated the Rapids 5-0 in the first game at home. The total soared Over, and LA won with ease; however, that doesn’t have any bearing on this game in terms of goal differential or any substantial advantage moving forward.

The Rapids finished seventh in the Western Conference. Colorado was significantly better at home, posting a 10-3-4 home record. It scored 33 points at home and 17 on the road. The Rapids’ strength is their offense, averaging 1.79 goals per game. They are struggling though, having lost 5 in a row, including their last 2 at home. The Rapids are led by F Rafael Navarro, who has netted 15 goals.

LA ended the regular season second in the West with a +19 goal differential, the second-best in the conference. The Galaxy also have an extremely potent offense, having averaged 2.03 goals per game. They went just 6-4-7 on the road this season. LA is led by F Gabriel Chaves, who has tallied 16 goals. Four Galaxy players have scored double-digit goals this season. LA has won 4 of its last 5 matches.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: -135 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy picks and predictions

Prediction

LA Galaxy 3, Colorado Rapids 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET GALAXY (+130).

In the playoffs, it is about getting hot and staying hot, and the Galaxy are doing just that. LA has won 4 of its last 5 games with 3 of those wins coming by multiple goals. It beat the Rapids 3-1 on the road on Oct. 2, and ended with 1.3 more expected goals.

Colorado has less potent starts and have fallen off a cliff as of late, having been outscored by 12 goals (15-3) over its last 5 games. The Rapids have allowed at least 2 expected goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. Those persistent issues will be a problem against an offensive team like LA.

That said, back GALAXY (+130) to end the series Friday.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-135).

The Rapids have allowed at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 5 games and have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 11. Colorado is allowing 1.76 goals per game while scoring 1.79 per game. Both of those are impressive, the former impressively bad and the latter impressively good.

The Galaxy have gone Over this total in 5 of their last 7 games and have combined for 3 goals in those 2 other matches. Their games have consistently been filled with goals. Expect that to continue and back OVER 3.5 (-135). If you’re feeling adventuresome, you could consider a little something on the Alternative Over 4.5 (+165) for tidy payout.

Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Inter Miami (21 wins, 8 draws, 4 losses) welcomes the New England Revolution (9-4-20) to Chase Stadium Saturday to wrap up their regular seasons. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami will have F Lionel Messi active, although reports are that he may not be among the starting XI. Messi has helped Inter be in a position to set the single-season points record with a win. Messi has 17 goals and a team-high 11 assists on the season. Miami has won 2 straight and 7 of its last 10. It is a strong 10-4-2 at home this season and has a league-best +26 goal differential.

The Revolution, who have consistently been among the best in the Eastern Conference the last several seasons, have struggled and are not in playoff position, even with a win. They are 4-0-12 on the road and have a -33 goal differential. New England is coming off a 4-0 loss at the Columbus Crew Saturday. It has dropped 3 straight and 5 of its last 7. The Revolution are led by F Giacomo Vrioni, who has 9 goals on the season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, New England Revolution 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no value in taking a moneyline play here. Inter (-300) has a reason to come out on top, and the Revolution have little reason to put on a show here. Miami has dominated as of late and should get Messi on the pitch for at least some of the match.

At these odds, nothing is worth taking on the moneyline, as Miami is too expensive to play and New England isn’t worth the risk to get any result.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+100).

New England’s offense is not trustworthy enough to expect it to contribute to the scoring here. The Revolution have been held without a goal in 2 of their last 3 road games and scored just once in their last 3 away matches. The Revolution have scored 3 goals in their last 5 matches in total and had under 1.0 expected goals in 3 of their last 4.

Inter has a dynamic offense with stars littered throughout its lineup. However, it has scored more than 1 goal in just 1 of its last 4 matches and has gone under this total in 3 of its last 4. Considering those trends for both sides, back UNDER 3.5 (+100).

Mexico vs. USMNT odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Mexico vs. USMNT odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Mexico welcomes the USMNT to Estadio Akron in Guadalajara for a friendly Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (TNT / Telemundo / Max). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Mexico vs. USMNT odds, and make our best soccer picks and predictions.

The USMNT had their first game under new coach Mauricio Pochettino, and that resulted in a 2-0 win over Panama at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas Saturday. The USMNT played 2 friendlies in September, drawing New Zealand 1-1 in Cincinnati and losing to Canada 2-1 in Kansas City. Those came on the back of a disappointing Copa America, in which the USMNT went 1-0-2 (2 losses) and failed to qualify for the knockout stage.

Mexico was also in Copa America. With a 1-1-1 record, it also failed to qualify for the knockout stage. In those June games, Mexico beat Jamaica 1-0, lost to Venezuela 1-0 and drew Ecuador 0-0. Since, Mexico has beaten New Zealand 3-0 in an international friendly Sept. 7 and drew Canada 0-0 in a friendly Sept. 10. Mexico has played 5 friendlies this season, going 2-2-1.

  • Moneyline: Mexico +115 (bet $100 to win $115) | USMNT +240 (bet $100 to win $240) | Draw +220 (bet $100 to win $220)
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +130 | U: -190)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Mexico vs. USMNT picks and predictions

Prediction

USMNT 2, Mexico 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+220).

Mexico and the USMNT have played relatively close games over the last few years. While the USMNT has won a combined 5-0 in its last 2 matches — 2-0 in March and 3-0 in June 2023 — the 2 prior matches were draws.

The last 2 times these teams played in Mexico, they tied  — a 0-0 draw in March 2022 and a 1-1 draw in June 2017. Plus, Mexico has drawn 2 of its last 3 games.

The USMNT has dominated the rivalry recently, but those were at home and not in a hostile environment with a new coach. The Americans have drawn 2 of their last 7 games and have had a one-score difference in 3 of those 7. So, their games have been close recently.

For the value, BACK DRAW (+220).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+130).

The most enticing play here is the Draw, but taking Over given these odds also presents a reasonable option. The USMNT has gone over this total in 2 of its last 5 matches.

The USMNT totaled 11 shots and allowed 13 against Panama, so it didn’t necessarily heavily limit its opponent. Mexico is 1-1 O/U in its post-Copa America friendlies. In Mexico’s last 4 friendlies, it has gone Over in 3 of them.

Considering these trends, TAKE OVER 2.5 (+130).

USMNT vs. Panama odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s USMNT vs. Panama odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The USMNT welcomes Panama to Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, on Saturday. Kickoff in the international friendly is set for 9 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the USMNT vs. Panama odds, and make our best soccer picks and predictions.

New USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino will make his debut leading the team. The Americans, 18th in the last FIFA rankings, are coming off a disappointing result, drawing New Zealand 1-1 in Cincinnati on Sept. 10. The USMNT’s last tournament resulted in a group stage exodus in Copa America, losing to Panama 2-1 following an 18th-minute red card to F Timothy Weah in 1 of those 3 games.

The Panamanians, who are 37th in the FIFA rankings, have not played since a 5-0 quarterfinal loss to Colombia in Copa América on July 6. They did have a much better tournament showing than the USMNT. Panama lost to Uruguay 3-1, beat the USMNT 2-1, and finished up the group stage with a 3-1 win over Bolivia to qualify for the quarterfinal where they were throttled by Colombia.

The U.S. has an all-time 17-3-7 mark against their Central American counterparts since the 1st meeting in 1993. Following Saturday’s contest, the USA heads to Guadalajara to visit El Tri on Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET.

  • Moneyline: USMNT -210 (bet $210 to win $100) | Panama +525 (bet $100 to win $525) | Draw +320 (bet $100 to win $320)
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -125 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

USMNT vs. Panama picks and predictions

Prediction

USMNT 3, Panama 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Many of the top USMNT players should be in action in this game, including star F Christian Pulisic, who could start under his new coach and see 70-plus minutes.

With that excitement should come a result; however, the USMNT are far too expensive to play to win outright. One would find better value in playing that their offense helps push the total Over, which is the suggested route here.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-125).

If the Panama defense showed anything during Copa America, it is that, against quality opponents, it is going to struggle immensely. It gave up 3 goals to Uruguay to open the tournament and then was eliminated by allowing 5 to Colombia. While its offense was nothing too impressive, it did net 4 goals in the group stage and scored in every game. Each of its 4 Copa America matches went Over this total.

The USMNT should see some new and hopefully improved tactics offensively. They are 2-2 O/U this total in their last 4 games. Their game with Panama went north of this total as 19 shots were tallied. The USMNT has allowed a goal in its last 4 games as well. Considering those trends, take OVER 2.5 (-125).

It might even be worthwhile to consider something on the Alternative Over 3.5 (+196) for a chance to double up.

Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Toronto FC (11 wins, 4 draws, 18 losses) welcomes Inter Miami (20-8-4) to BMO Field for an Eastern Conference clash Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Toronto FC has rebounded since having a streak of 6 straight losses earlier in the season. It has lost 3 of its last 4 as well, dropping its most recent game at home to the New York Red Bulls 4-1 Wednesday. Toronto is on the brink of playoff position at 9th in the conference. It has a -20 goal differential, the 2nd-worst in the conference. Offensively, it is led by F Federico Bernardeschi, who has netted 8 goals in 29 matches.

Inter Miami, on the other hand, locked up the Supporters’ Shield in its most recent 3-2 win against the Columbus Crew on the road Wednesday. Miami hasn’t lost since July 6, a discouraging 6-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati. Since, Inter has won 6 of 9 games and is 6-3-0 in those. It is led by F Lionel Messi, who has 17 goals and a team-high 11 assists. He is expected to play, as he made the trip, but with the Shield locked up, how much he’ll play is a much different question.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Toronto FC 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+275).

Inter is the far better side here, but it doesn’t have a ton of reason to play at its full capacity. It has also played to the level of its competition as of late, drawing 3 of its last 4 games. It is 1-3-0 in those games, drawing NYCFC and Atlanta United on the road in that span.

Toronto has drawn 1 of its last 2 games. While it has yet to draw at home, it should be able to gain some confidence, as getting any result would be impactful for its playoff seeding. Considering those trends, back DRAW (+275).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+115).

Toronto FC has a lacking defense, and that should be exposed by Inter’s elite offense. Toronto has allowed at least 2.3 expected goals in 3 of its last 5 games. It has scored in 2 straight and is averaging 1.21 goals per game while allowing 1.82.

Inter has gone over this total in 4 of its last 6 games and also allowed at least 1.9 expected goals in 3 of its last 5. Miami is averaging 2.25 goals per game while allowing 1.47. The defensive weakness should be clear in this game, so expect a good chunk of opportunity for the offenses.

Back OVER 3.5 (+115).

Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Colorado Rapids (15 wins, 5 draws, 11 losses) welcome the LA Galaxy (17-7-7) to DSG Park for a clash of top Western Conference foes. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

The Rapids, who sit 4th in the West, have just a +5 goal differential, the worst of the top-5 teams in the conference. They have tallied 58 goals while allowing 53. Colorado is coming off a 3-0 road loss to Minnesota United, a game in which it had 0.7 fewer expected goals. However, the Rapids have won 4 of their last 6 matches and are a strong 10-3-2 at home. They are led offensively by F Rafael Navarro, who has netted 14 goals in 31 matches.

The Galaxy are the top team in the West and have the best goal differential at +17, having scored 63 goals and allowed just 46. They have 4 players who have tallied double-digit goals, led by F Dejan Joveljic who has 14. The Galaxy are just 5-4-6 on the road though. They have traded off winning and losing over their last 5 matches and are coming off a 4-2 home win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, a game in which they ended with just 0.2 more expected goals.

Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado Rapids 3, LA Galaxy 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET COLORADO RAPIDS (+120).

The Galaxy have not been overly consistent on the road this season, and they have struggled even more away from home over the last few weeks. Los Angeles has lost 3 straight road games, and it has lost 2 of those 3 by multiple goals.

Meanwhile, Colorado has won 3 straight at home and has come out on top in 5 of its last 6, including games against teams like FC Dallas and Sporting KC. The Rapids have won 10 of 15 home games on the season.

Considering those trends and the value on the home to win outright, take COLORADO RAPIDS (+120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-135).

If there’s something both teams do consistently, it is score. The Rapids have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 games, and they have gone Over this total in 4 of those. They have had at least 2.2 expected goals in 4 of their last 7 as well, so the opportunities have consistently been there for the Rapids.

Similarly, the Galaxy are an offensive-minded side, and they have scored at least 4 goals in 2 of their last 3 games. In the Galaxy’s last 3 games, there have been 6 goals in each, and they have allowed at least 2 in 4 straight.

Both teams can score, and neither can defend well. Take OVER 3.5 (-135). And if you feel adventuresome, you might even consider the alternative Over 4.5 (+165) for a tidy return on your investment.

Analyzing Wednesday’s Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Columbus Crew (16 wins, 9 draws, 5 losses) welcome Inter Miami (19-8-4)  to Lower.com Field for a high-profile Eastern Conference clash Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

The Crew, who sit 2nd in the East behind Inter Miami, drew D.C. United 2-2 on the road Saturday. The draw snapped a 2-match win streak for Columbus, which has won 4 of its last 7 matches, going 4-2-1. The Crew have been impressive at home, posting an 8-4-2 record. They have one of the most dynamic attacks in the MLS, averaging 2.0 goals per game. F Cucho leads the Crew with a team-high 16 goals.

Inter Miami, which leads Columbus by 8 points in the East, has a strong 9-4-2 road record. Inter has drawn 3 straight matches and is 9-4-1 overall since the start of June. The Herons are coming off a 1-1 home draw Saturday against Charlotte FC, a match in which Inter ended with 1.7 more expected goals.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Columbus Crew 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

DRAW (+290) is the way to go.

The Crew have made Lower.com Field a fortress, but they still haven’t won at home as much as one would expect. Columbus actually has scored more points on the road this season. It has been outscored 7-4 in its last 2 home contests as well.

Similarly, Miami has played to the level of its competition, even with Messi back in the lineup. Inter has drawn 3 straight matches, 2 of which were on the road. Miami has 4 draws in 15 road games and are facing a top Eastern Conference side.

Expect a close battle and BET DRAW (+290).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

If there’s one thing both sides know how to do, it is score. Inter has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 5 matches, ending with at least 1.8 expected goals in 3 of those as well. The Herons are coming off a game against Charlotte in which there were 2 goals, yet 4.3 expected goals.

The opportunities will be there for both Miami and Columbus. The Crew have tallied 10 goals in their last 3 matches and have allowed 5 over their last 2. They have gone Over this total in 2 straight and in 4 of their last 6. BACK OVER 3.5 (+100).

Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Inter Miami (19 wins, 7 draws, 4 losses) welcomes Charlotte FC (11-8-11) to Chase Stadium for an Eastern Conference clash Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami drew NYCFC 1-1 Saturday, their most recent match. Inter had its 5-game winning streak snapped in a 2-2 draw against Atlanta United prior to drawing NYCFC. Miami has won its last 5 home games. It has tallied at least 2 goals in 6 of its last 7 games. Inter is led by F Lionel Messi, who has 14 goals and a team-high 11 assists. They are averaging 2.27 goals per game this season.

Charlotte FC, one of the newer teams to MLS, are just 4-3-8 at home are currently in playoff position. Charlotte is led by 23-year-old F Patrick Agyemang, who has netted 8 goals in 27 matches.

Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Charlotte FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no great value on the moneyline.

Inter is the better side and has been dominated with Messi in the lineup. They have outscored opponents 10-3 in their last 4 home games and should continue that type of performance Saturday. Charlotte has lost 3 of its last 4 games and its last 2 on the road. It isn’t worth a play to get any points from this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

Charlotte has a dynamic offense. It has scored at least one goals in 7 of its last 9 games and has netted at least 3 goals in 2 of those. It has allowed multiple goals in 3 of its last 6 games as well. The more concerning part is its defense, having allowed at least 1.2 expected goals in 10 straight games.

Miami is going to have the chance to take advantage of that weakness. Inter has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 games and in 5 of its last 8. It has tallied 10 goals in its last 4 home matches.

Expect its star-studded offense to keep rolling and back OVER 3.5 (+100).

New York City FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, New York City FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+135).

Inter has been on a tear when F Lionel Messi takes the pitch, and he’s going to be active. After coming on as a sub Wednesday, he should be primed to start and get at least 70 minutes, heavily impacting the lethal Miami attack.

Inter is surging and has had recently road success while NYCFC has lost 2 of its last 3. It has been outscored 10-4 in its last 3 games. It is just 2-5-6 over its last 13. After a hot stretch in the early season, NYCFC hasn’t been impressive. Against a team like Inter, expect them to struggle.

Take INTER MIAMI (+135).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

NYCFC has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 games, scoring at least 2 in 2 of those and allowing at least 2 in 3 of the 4. New York has allowed at least 1.6 expected goals in 3 of its last 4.

As for Inter, they have gone Over this total in 3 straight games, scoring 9 goals in those. Miami has gone Over it in 5 of its last 7 as well. Take OVER 3.5 (+100).

Atlanta United FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Atlanta United FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+155).

Inter Miami has been the hottest team in the MLS over the last few months. Inter has won 5 straight games, only 1 of which was on the road. Miami has won 9 of its last 10 matches and is 4-0-1 in its last 5 on the road. Miami has outscored opponents 9-2 in its last 3 matches.

Messi brings a different aura around the team, which plays better with him healthy and on the pitch. On the other hand, United has lost 6 of 14 home matches and has gone 1-1-1 in its last 3 at home. United has been outscored 15-8 over its last 8 games. Atlanta is going to struggle against a surging Inter side.

BACK INTER MIAMI (+155).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-135).

Neither team has been great offensively as of late. Atlanta has scored 1 goal in its last 3 games and has had just 3.3 expected goals in that span. It has gone Under this total in 4 matches in a row and in 5 of its last 6.

Inter has gone Over this total in 2 straight but is 4-6 O/U this total in its last 10. Miami has had 1.1 or fewer expected goals in 2 of its last 3 matches and have held opponents to 1.4 or fewer in 4 of its last 5 matches.

Despite the price on the play, TAKE UNDER 3.5 (-135).
