FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. ET.

Prediction

New York Red Bulls 1, FC Cincinnati 0

Moneyline (ML)

Back NEW YORK (-115) as the favorites to join Columbus Crew SC in advancing out of Group E to the knockout stage.

Both teams have negative goal differentials in losses to Columbus and wins over the depleted Atlanta United SC. The Red Bulls are minus-1 with one goal scored and two allowed. Cincinnati is minus-3 with one goal for and four against.

Injuries have played a major role in FC Cincinnati’s struggles, while the Red Bulls have skated through the tournament at full health. Expect New York’s starters to stay in this game just long enough to secure the victory and advance to the next round before being pulled out in order to preserve the perfect injury list.

Over/Under (O/U)

These two clubs played to a 3-2 Red Bulls victory when they met in a March 1 matchup early this season. Both teams were shut out by Columbus while producing a clean sheet of their own over Atlanta to start the MLS is Back Tournament.

Look for the Red Bulls to get on the board early before dialing it back with the reserves on the pitch. Take UNDER 2.5 (+115) as a great value bet at plus-money.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 9:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Columbus Crew SC 2, Atlanta United FC 0

Moneyline (ML)

Atlanta United? More like “Atlanta Disjointed” after this disappointing bubble performance. Atlanta United sits in the basement of Group E, failing to score a goal in its first two games, and is eliminated from Round of 16 contention as a result. Meanwhile, COLUMBUS (+175) has punched its ticket to the knockout stages, so it could elect to power things down a bit. Nagbe is unlikely to feature, as he is nicked and could use the rest. It remains to be seen if Columbus will go with its regular “crew” or if it will play several reserves. Either way, Atlanta is likely to be in a hurry to burst out of this bubble and offer very little in the way of resistance Tuesday, which is par for their course so far.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-106) is the play. Atlanta has looked disinterested and has really been toothless on offense without star striker Martinez in tow. The Crew have bagged six goals and have yet to concede one, while Atlanta has yet to find the back of the net. This has the makings of a 1-0 or 2-0 match.

Toronto FC vs. New England: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 8:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Toronto 2, New England 1

Moneyline (ML)

TORONTO FC (+125) is the heavy favorite here despite the fact New England (+230) is tied with them atop the Group C table with two wins apiece. Still, Toronto’s offense has been on point, notching six goals through the first two matches.

Of course, they have also yielded five goals, and they match the Revs with a plus-1 goal differential. Needless to say, this will be a hotly contested match, even if the temperatures are a bit on the mild side before the heat of the Central Florida day gets really cranked up.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-150) is the way to go, although it will cost you. TFC is averaging 3.0 goals per match so far in Group C play. New England has conceded just one goal in two matches, but the Revolution haven’t faced an offense as capable as Toronto’s. Look, it won’t be an end-to-end shootout, but we’ll see at least three total goals in this battle for Group C supremacy.

Philadelphia vs. Orlando City: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

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

Prediction

Orlando City SC 1, Philadelphia Union 1

Moneyline (ML)

Philadelphia Union (+150) is the slight favorite here, with surprising Orlando City SC (+170) a tempting play at this price level. Both sides won their first two matches of Group A play and are through to the Round of 16, so don’t be surprised to see each side power down.

Orlando is fairly healthy, with no notable injuries to report; however, Santos is nicked for the Doopers, coming off at the half last time out after playing with a leg injury. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him sit in this one to get fit for the knockout stages.

Neither side is likely to push hard, so a DRAW (+260) play makes sense, and could be rather lucrative, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is also rather attractive. Philadelphia’s defense and goalkeeping have been like a brick wall through two in Central Florida, conceding just one goal, while Orlando has allowed just two markers. Both sides are likely to gladly play a defensive slog, and more than two goals would be a major shocker.

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

Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 2, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0

Moneyline (ML)

SEATTLE (-162) is a huge favorite in this one against the banged up and short-handed Vancouver (+425) side. The Sounders look to continue their mastery of the Whitecaps, as Seattle has posted an impressive 4-0-1 mark in the past five meetings vs. Vancouver.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is the direction to look in this Pacific Northwest tussle played in Central Florida. In the past six meetings between these sides, there has been a pair of scoreless draws, Seattle has scored a total of just seven goals and Vancouver has managed to hit the back of the net just once. The Sounders have just one goal so far through two matches in the bubble, so the UNDER is the call.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Sunday at 6:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

San Jose 2, Chicago FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

SAN JOSE (+165) is a slight underdog against Chicago FC (+145), but the Earthquakes certainly have enough firepower to outlast anyone. After showing rust in their opening scoreless draw against the Seattle Sounders, the ‘Quakes outlasted the Vancouver Whitecaps 4-3 in a mid-week battle. Chicago picked up a 2-1 win over Seattle earlier in the week, as the Fire started slowly after their initial game against Nashville SC was wiped out. This one is likely for the top spot in the group, and the Earthquakes look to be the best option.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-176) is a bit on the pricy side, but it will be worth it. However, while Over 3.5 (+135) is tempting at a plus number, don’t expect the ‘Quakes to have the same kind of offensive success like they did last time out. Chicago is a lot stingier on defense and it will be a slower go for the Bay Area club.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 6:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

LAFC 3, LA Galaxy 2

Moneyline (ML)

LAFC (-143) might be without Vela, who elected not to travel to the bubble in Central Florida to stay home with his pregnant girlfriend. However, LAFC proved against the Houston Dynamo that it still has plenty of firepower, hitting the back of the net three times. The LA Galaxy (+350) played close to the Portland Timbers last time out, falling 2-1. However, the Galaxy lack the offensive punch to keep up with their crosstown rivals.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+110) is a solid play in this battle of SoCal rivals. Five of the past six head-to-head meetings have seen four or more goals, and both sides have scored at least once in each of the past six. As a result, BACKING YES (-200) ON BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE should also be a sound play.
