Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 1, Austin FC 0

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (+240) is a tremendous play at plus-money on the road. As mentioned above, Austin FC has been held scoreless in four of its previous five matches.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-110) is a slam-dunk play. Both teams are banged up and missing key members. Seattle will also be without the Roldan Brothers, as Cristian Roldan is playing for the USMNT and Alex Roldan is playing for El Salvador in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Scoring will be at a premium just like the last time these squads played.

Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 1, Minnesota United FC 1

Money line (ML)

The Seattle Sounders are a very tempting play at plus money, but they have several players injured. Also, Alex Roldan is away from the team to play with El Salvador in the CONCACAF Gold Cup while his brother Cristian Roldan plays for the USMNT. Meanwhile, Minnesota United FC is without Dayne St. Clair, who is playing for Canada at the Gold Cup.

The best play – and the best value – is rolling with the DRAW (+270) for a chance to nearly triple up.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is the “lean” at plus money. Minnesota United FC has cashed the Under 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight MLS matches, and Seattle has had a total of two goals in each of its last two matches overall.

Below, we preview the FC Dallas vs. Portland Timbers odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Dallas has managed just one victory across the past nine matches going 1-4-4. The good news for FC Dallas is that they won the first meeting with the Timbers by a 4-1 count May 2, which was one of just two wins this season.

The Timbers have dropped each of the past two outings while going 0-2-1 in the past three contests. While Portland has had an uneven season overall, they’re a respectable 4-2-1 in seven matches at home.

Prediction

Portland Timbers 1, FC Dallas 0

Money line (ML)

The PORTLAND TIMBERS (-125) are worth playing straight up even though FC Dallas (+300) got the best of them in the first matchup. Portland has been a much better team on its home pitch, and they’ll get it done here.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+130) is a great play at plus money. In the previous three meetings in Portland, we have had a total of just three goals – including a 1-1 battle in full time in the postseason Nov. 23.

San Jose Earthquakes at Colorado Rapids odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s San Jose Earthquakes at Colorado Rapids odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

In Saturday’s MLS action, the San Jose Earthquakes (3 wins, 7 losses, 2 draws) and the Colorado Rapids (6-3-2) in a 9 p.m. ET kickoff at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. The match is televised on ESPN+. Below, we preview the San Jose vs. Colorado odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

San Jose is winless across the past eight matches going 0-6-2. Their win came against Real Salt Lake on May 8 in SLC.

The Earthquakes will be without Jackson Yueill who is playing for Team USA in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The Rapids have been leading at both half time and full time in their past five matches at home against the Earthquakes.

Kellyn Acosta, Jonathan Lewis and San Vines are away from the Rapids playing for the USMNT.

Prediction

Colorado Rapids 3, San Jose Earthquakes 1

Money line (ML)

The Rapids (-250) are a little on the expensive side since they’ll have three key members of the club away from the team playing with the USMNT. As such, it’s a bit of a risky wager despite the fact they’re on their home pitch.

AVOID.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+110) is worth playing lightly at plus-money. However, I am a bit worried with so many players away with the national team.

It’s a little expensive, but OVER 2.5 (-225) on the alternate line might be the better play. In the past three meetings in Colorado, we have had three or more goals in each outing with an average of 4.0 goals per match.

Orlando City SC vs. Portland Timbers: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:10 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Portland Timbers 2, Orlando City SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

The PORTLAND TIMBERS (+175) are the lean here, mainly because of their experience. Orlando City SC (+145) has had an amazing run to the championship game, perhaps partially due to their comfort level playing in Central Florida. However, the Timbers are unbeaten in each of their past six outings, and they’re going to be able to ease past OCSC for the hardware.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-150) is the way to go in the title match, although it won’t be a slam-dunk over. However, at least three goals should be easily attainable, especially since the Timbers have notched at least two goals in five of their past six outings. Portland has also seen at least three total goals in five of the past six overall, while Orlando City easily hit the over themselves in a 3-1 win over Minnesota United FC in the semifinals. In addition, three of the previous four meetings between these cross-continent opponents have total three or more goals.

Prediction

Minnesota United 2, Orlando City SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

MINNESOTA UNITED (+175) is listed as the underdog in this one, while Orlando City SC (+150) is the slight favorite. Both teams have played well to get into the MLS is Back Final Four, and not many talking heads were picking them pre-tournament.

Now, both are fighting for a chance to take on the Portland Timbers for the championship. Minnesota is 2-0-1 all-time against Orlando, and they’ll remain unbeaten after Thursday’s victory.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-139) is a sound play, and Minnesota showed they have the potential to take care of the Over on their own. They fired four balls into the net, cruising past the San Jose Earthquakes in the quarterfinals.

Over the past six games, Minnesota is averaging 2.4 goals per game, and that includes a scoreless draw with Real Salt Lake July 18. Their offense is popping and should have them marching on to face the Timbers for the ‘ship.

Prediction

Philadelphia Union 2, Portland Timbers 1

Moneyline (ML)

PHILADELPHIA UNION (+170) are a tremendous value in this one. They bumped out the high-octane Sporting Kansas City side by a 3-1 count last time out, and they sent New England home with a 1-0 victory in the Round of 16. The Doopers also won two of their three matches in group play. Philly might not be the most talented side remaining, but they’re playing with a lot of confidence and everything just seems to be clicking. Take the slight ‘dog to continue marching along.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-150) is worth the investment. Yes, Philly has been involved in a pair of 1-0 wins, and the under is 3-2 so far for the Union. However, the Timbers have yet to record a clean sheet, and we have had three or more total goals in four of their five games to date. Portland scores a lot, and they have also yielded 1.2 goals per game in the bubble. Enjoy the higher-scoring match.

Prediction

Portland Timbers 1, New York City FC 0

Moneyline (ML)

The PORTLAND TIMBERS (+220) are a great value, as they look to earn the fourth and final golden ticket to the MLS is Back Tournament semifinals. While New York City FC (+115) is considered the favorite here, and by quite a healthy margin, don’t forget that Portland has been winning at both half time and full time in each of their past three meetings with NYCFC. In fact, the Timbers have outscored NYCFC 5-0 during the past three matches. Yes, that’s three consecutive clean sheets. Why is New York favored again?

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is also a good value here, as the past five meetings in this series have netted a total of just five goals, or 1.67 goals per game, and all of that production has been by the Timbers. In the five all-time meetings in this series, we have seen a total of just nine goals, or 1.8 goals per contest. If we see an Over it would be a major surprise.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 6:25 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Minnesota United FC 2, San Jose Earthquakes 2 (PKs)

Moneyline (ML)

Minnesota United FC (+220) picked up an emotional win over previously unbeaten Columbus last round, while the San Jose Earthquakes (+115) have been anything but faulty so far in this tournament. This is going to be a very, very hotly contested match which isn’t decided in regular time. Therefore, play the DRAW (+270), which is the best value on the board. This one will be decided on penalty kicks, and playing MINNESOTA UNITED (-106) TO ADVANCE TO NEXT ROUND is also a decent small-unit wager. Minnesota hasn’t lost to San Jose since May 12, 2018.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-162) is worth a look, as we should see a low-scoring match which cannot be decided in full time or extra time. However, we’ll see plenty of goals along the way. In the previous six meetings in this series we have had at least three goals, with five of the outings seeing at least four goals.
