Money line (ML)
LAFC (-250) is finally getting healthy after a rough go of it to start the season. That’s in its favor here, as well as the fact Houston has just been brutal on the road. However, you can’t play LAFC straight up, as it will cost you two and a half times your potential return.
Instead, take LAFC/LAFC (+105) to win the first half and the match for a much better value on the alternate line.

Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 3.5 (+105) is worth a roll of the dice here. LAFC scored at least 2 goals in each of its past four matchups against Houston. Look for plenty of scoring in this one.
Also, play LAFC TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+145) for an added bonus.
