Money line (ML)
NEW YORK CITY FC (-130) is worth a look, as they are unbeaten in its past five matches against DC United (+290). The latter is a tempting play on their home field, but they might take some time to get used to new manager Hernan Losada.
NYCFC -1 (+210) is also worth a small-unit wager for a chance to double up.
