WATCH: Odds and bets on New York Red Bulls vs. New England Revolution, 7/31

ThePostGame checks out the recent trends between the MLS Eastern Conference rival New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls.

The best team in MLS travels to New Jersey Saturday as the New York Red Bulls host the New England Revolution. New England is the toughest team to beat right now, having topped its last three opponents. The Red Bulls have lost each of their games to the Revs so far this season, but both games were on the road. NY has been successful at home versus New England, but will history remain on their side? Go to BetMGM for the most updated odds.

WATCH: Odds and bets on San Jose Earthquakes at Seattle Sounders FC, 7/31

ThePostGame checks out the recent trends between the MLS Western Conference teams Seattle Sounders FC and San Jose Earthquakes.

All eyes will be on Saturday’s MLS matchup between the San Jose Earthquakes and Seattle Sounders FC, as the Earthquakes travel to take on the No. 1 team in the Western Conference. The Earthquakes are looking to get out of a series of draws against a Sounders team that has been hot all season.

Seattle’s defense has held its opponents to just four goals in July, with three of those goals coming last week at home against No. 2 Sporting Kansas City. Can the Sounders bounce back Saturday from a rare home loss? Go to BetMGM for the most updated odds.

Portland Timbers at LA Galaxy odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Portland Timbers at LA Galaxy odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Portland Timbers (6 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw) visit the LA Galaxy (8-6-1) Friday. The match is set to kick off at 10 p.m. ET at Dignity Health Sports Park. Below, we preview the Portland Timber vs. LA Galaxy odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Los Angeles is coming off its most embarrassing loss of the season, dropping Saturday’s game 4-0 to FC Dallas, one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. The Galaxy have just four points through five games this month.

They’ve struggled with M Efra Alvarez, M Jonathan dos Santos, and M Sebastian Lletget still in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Portland has just M Eryk Williamson away from the team.

While the Galaxy should get a few faces back, Portland is coming in with a major personnel advantage. The Timbers have also won two of their last three games which included a win over Los Angeles FC July 21.

Prediction

Portland Timbers 2, LA Galaxy 1

Money line (ML)

BET on PORTLAND TIMBERS (+240) as the best value on the money line. The Galaxy are down players and struggling recently and shouldn’t be favored, even at home.

The Galaxy are playing without dos Santos. Chicharito, who has the second-most goals in MLS, will also be sidelined due to injury. Combine those two being out, and the Galaxy attack will take a hit.

The Galaxy’s defense has been horrible this season as well, giving up 26 goals through 15 matches. Portland has 18 goals in 14 matches and should be able to capitalize, much like FC Dallas did.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 3.5 (-190) on the alternate line as the Galaxy attack just isn’t there. The Galaxy have routinely hit the Over, but Chicharito being sidelined Friday is a big deal.

The Timbers aren’t absent offensively, but expecting them to get 2 or 3 goals Friday while averaging just a goal per game for the season is a stretch. Portland has just one player with 4 goals in 2021.

Over 3.5 hit just twice for the Timbers in their last 11 games. Confidently go with Under 3.5.

Atlanta United at Orlando City SC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Atlanta United at Orlando City SC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In one of three MLS games Friday, Atlanta United (2 wins, 5 losses, 8 draws) visit Orlando City SC (7-4-4) for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Exploria Stadium. Below, we preview the Atlanta United FC vs. Orlando City SC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Despite F Josef Martinez finding his way back into the lineup, Atlanta United still haven’t consistently found a positive result. Atlanta hasn’t won since May 15 and has earned just two points in the last five matches.

As for Orlando City SC, with F Nani leading the way, it could jump Nashville SC for second place in the Eastern Conference with a win. Orlando hasn’t played well lately either with a 1-3-1 record over its last five games.

Prediction

Orlando City SC 1, Atlanta United 1

Money line (ML)

BET on the DRAW (+270) as the best value on the money line. After all, it seems to be the only thing Atlanta knows how to do.

United have more draws than wins and losses combined. With Martinez back, they should manage to find the back of the net at least once. They’ve drawn five of eight road matches.

While Atlanta still has three players with the USMNT in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the most important absence is Orlando City F Daryl Dike. Without Dike, expect a lower-scoring match with the outcome being a draw.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+100) as the better value on the total.

Without Dike, Orlando’s attack is limited to Nani. Outside of Martinez, Atlanta really has little attacking prowess, having scored just 14 goals through 15 matches.

Atlanta hit the Over in two of its last seven matches. While Orlando City was completely destroyed Sunday by New York City FC to the tune of a 5-0 loss, its defense should bounce back at home, where it has played well.

Columbus Crew at New York City FC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Columbus Crew at New York City FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Columbus Crew (6 wins, 3 losses, 6 draws) visit New York City FC (7-5-2) Friday. The match is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium. Below, we preview the Columbus Crew vs. New York City FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

New York City FC is coming in riding high after putting an absolute beatdown on Orlando City SC. NYCFC defeated Orlando City, the third-place team in the Eastern Conference, 5-0 Sunday. New York City has won five of eight home games.

It’ll be down GK Sean Johnson and D James Sands Friday, as both are playing for the USA in the Gold Cup. As for the Crew, they won’t have F Gyasi Zardes or M Liam Fraser.

The Crew drew four of their last six matches and won the other two, one of which was a 2-1 victory over NYCFC July 17. M Lucas Zelarayán will be the Crew’s most important offensive player with Zardes out.

Prediction

New York City FC 1, Columbus Crew 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” on the DRAW (+320) as the best value on the money line.

The Crew have played up to the level of their opposition and have oftentimes left the match even. They have six draws on the season and four in their last six matches.

While NYCFC has played to just two draws, it hasn’t necessarily been thriving of late, with two losses in its last four games. Both sides are in the middle of the pack in the East.

The draw here is the only way to bet the money line as NYCFC to win is far too pricey with it losing the last match between the two sides.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+125) as Columbus is a low-scoring side and has proven to impose its style of play on the opposition.

The Crew have just 16 goals through 15 games yet still have six wins. That’s possible because they’ve allowed just 12 goals. NYCFC is a dynamic scoring side, having put 26 in the net through 14 matches.

The Crew rank in the top five in save rate and clean sheets. They’ve also played to the Under in three of six matches against Eastern Conference teams with 20 or more goals scored this season.

I’d bet on the Crew imposing their style on NYCFC and just a couple of goals being scored in this match.

WATCH: Odds and bets on LA Galaxy vs. Portland Timbers, 7/30

ThePostGame checks out the recent trends between the MLS Western Conference rivals Portland Timbers and L.A. Galaxy.

The Portland Timbers have had the Los Angeles Galaxy‘s number in recent meetings, including a 3-0 win in May. But this match is in Los Angeles, and the Galaxy have been tough at home coming off a loss, which is the case after getting blanked at Dallas last week.

The conflicting trends in this matchup make the action intriguing. Go to BetMGM for the most updated odds.

Minnesota United at Los Angeles FC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Minnesota United at Los Angeles FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In Wednesday’s only MLS game, Minnesota United (6 wins, 5 losses, 3 draws) visit Los Angeles FC (6-5-4). The match is set to kick off at 10:30 p.m. ET at Banc of California Stadium. Below, we preview the Minnesota United vs. Los Angeles FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw against the Western Conference’s 12th-place Vancouver Whitecaps, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) looks to get back into the win column. It needs to work its way back up the table after a slow start to the season.

Currently, in fifth place, LAFC takes on the sixth-place Minnesota United. United has lost three of six games on the road, so it could be a tough outing for the away side.

Both teams will be down one player for CONCACAF Gold Cup action.

Prediction

Los Angeles FC 2, Minnesota United 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to LOS ANGELES FC (-225) despite the steep price.

LAFC is 4-1-3 at home. F Diego Rossi and F Carlos Vela are both healthy and the duo is the best two-man attacking combo in the MLS.

It’s almost impossible to limit that pair, especially when you bring in the speedster MF Latif Blessing. On top of those three, MF José Cifuentes has had a great season, tying Rossi for the most goals on the team with 5.

United is no pushover, but LAFC is the better team. It has won three of its last five matches and enters this game in good form.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the UNDER 3.5 (-135) as Minnesota United is not a dynamic scoring site.

The total is 3.5 due to the attacking prowess of LAFC but it hit Over 3.5 just once this season. Vela hasn’t hit his full rhythm yet and should be limited against a solid United defense.

United has given up 17 goals in 14 games. LAFC has scored 20 and given up 17 in 15 games. All the figures equate to Under 3.5 being a good bet.

New York Red Bulls at D.C. United odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s New York Red Bulls at D.C. United odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The New York Red Bulls (5 wins, 5 losses, 3 draws) visit D.C. United (5-7-2) Sunday at Audi Field. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the New York Red Bulls vs. D.C. United odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Red Bulls take to the road where they’ve struggled this season at 1-4-2. New York is 1-1-3 over its last five games and isn’t missing any players for CONCACAF Gold Cup action.

The same can’t be said for United, as they will be down F Paul Arriola and D Donovan Pines, both of which are playing for the USMNT. United has been solid at home at 4-2-0; however, they’re just 1-2-2 over their last five games.

Prediction

D.C. United 1, New York Red Bulls 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+230) as both sides are relatively at the same level in terms of talent.

Along those lines, the few players absent for United pulls the bar back to even as they’ve been a formidable opponent at home. With Arriola out, United will lose some pace in the middle.

Over the last five games for each side, there have been five combined draws. Neither team is a stranger to seeing the same score on the board at the end of the game.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-115) as neither team has been overly dominant in the attacking third.

United has scored 20 goals through 14 matches while the Red Bulls have put 18 in the back of the net through 13 games. Both have consistent defenses, allowing a combined 34 goals in 27 matches.

The Under hit in three of United’s last eight games and three of the Red Bulls’ last four. It’s the best value as both teams rank in the top seven of MLS in interceptions.

Philadelphia Union at Inter Miami CF odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Philadelphia Union at Inter Miami CF odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Philadelphia Union (6 wins, 4 losses, 5 draws) travel south to take on Inter Miami CF (2-8-2) Sunday at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami CF odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Union come in struggling of late with a 1-2-2 record over their last five games. However, it’s excused as Philadelphia sent many players to represent their respective nations in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Philadelphia is down GK Andre Blake, F Cory Burke and D Alvas Powell, all of which have played an impactful role this season. Inter Miami CF sent just D Kelvin Leerdam.

Over the last five games, Miami has allowed 12 goals and scored just 1. It’s been a brutal stretch for the Eastern Conference’s last-place team.

Prediction

Philadelphia Union 1, Inter Miami CF 0

Money line (ML)

BET on the UNION (+130) as the couple of pieces they’re down shouldn’t impact them too much. Blake is the most important loss as he’s their starting goalie.

GK Joe Bendik has served as a decent backup. This match will be more about Inter Miami’s inability to defend. It has given up 22 goals through 12 matches and Miami has also lost five of six home games and doesn’t take advantage of the home crowd.

Despite being down a couple players, I’d still back Philadelphia.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (-125) as the best value on the total.

The Union will be without their second-leading scorer in Burke. They aren’t a score-heavy side as they have just 19 goals through 15 matches.

Philadelphia’s strength comes in its defending which should get a nice break as the only player on the opposing side to really worry about is F Gonzalo Higuaín. He’s the only Inter Miami player with more than 1 goal on the season.

That said, the Under hit in three of the last six games for both sides. It’s the better play but just for half a unit.

CONCACAF Gold Cup: Mexico vs. Honduras odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Mexico vs. Honduras odds and lines, with CONCACAF Gold Cup picks and predictions.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Saturday with a quarterfinals matchup between Mexico and Honduras in a 10 p.m. ET kickoff at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Below, we preview the Mexico vs. Honduras odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Mexico won Group A despite a slow start against Trinidad & Tobago. Panic set in among the El Tri faithful, but Mexico quelled those fears with a sound 3-0 beating of Guatemala and won the group with a 1-0 clincher over El Salvador Sunday.

Honduras spanked Grenada 4-0 in its group play opener and edged Panama 3-2. However, it lost a decisive match to Qatar 2-0 to finish second in Group D.

Prediction

Mexico 1, Honduras 0

Money line (ML)

Mexico (-250) will cost you two and a half times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit more expensive than I am comfortable with.

This is a quarterfinals match which El Tri ‘should’ dominate. Mexico is 7-4-4 in its last 15 meetings in international play against its Central American counterparts.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-125) is the best play on the board here. Mexico ground out a 1-0 win over El Salvador in its third and final group play match, and you can expect a similar result here.

Honduras was shut down against Qatar and will struggle to make scoring chances happen against a much better Mexican side.
