Prediction

LA Galaxy 4, Houston Dynamo 2

Moneyline (ML)

While Zlatan Ibrahimovic has moved on from LA GALAXY (+190), Javier “Chicarito” Hernandez comes over as Mexico’s all-time leading scorer and will be a marquee draw for all of MLS. Houston Dynamo (+125) have won three of the last four head-to-head meetings, including a 4-2 win last October, but the value lies on an LA Galaxy club coming off another postseason trip last season. Houston Dynamo was 10-3-4 at home last season, but just 2-15 on the road, showing their true worth lies somewhere in between.

Back the visitors as the more profitable side in the season opener. Hernandez will make his impact immediately.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 3.5 (+110) is the play. This is the only game of Saturday’s MLS slate with the goal total set at 3.5 as opposed to 2.5, in what’s expected to be an early-season shoot out. Four of the last five head-to-head clashes since 2017 played to totals of 5 or more goals.

New England Revolution at Montreal Impact: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Montreal Impact 1, New England Revolution 1

Moneyline (ML)

The two clubs played to a 0-0 draw last season after alternating wins and losses in four matches since April 6, 2018. Three of the last four victories for either side ended in a clean sheet for the winning club.

Take the value of a DRAW (+240) in Montreal Impact manager Thierry Henry’s debut with the french Canadian club. The Impact played to a 2-2 draw with Deportivo Saprissa in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions League opener Wednesday. New England Revolution was just 3-6-8 away from home last season, and the Montreal Impact was 8-6-3 at Stade Olympique.

Over/Under (O/U)

Luckily, Montreal Impact plays their home games in a dome, as it’s expected to be 20 degrees on the final day of February in Montreal. The outside weather shouldn’t affect the goal scoring in this one, but the early season match will. Back the UNDER 2.5 (+110) as the more profitable side of the total bet. Both teams played to negative goal differentials last season, and offense isn’t a strength for either club.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 11 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Sporting Kansas City 3, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (+110) enters this match slightly favored on the road against Vancouver Whitecaps FC (+220). SKC has had a lot of success in the past against Vancouver, and it’s unlikely much will be changed in this one. SKC has three wins and a draw in the past four meetings in this series.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-154) is one of my favorite plays of the entire Week 1 MLS slate. Last season, Sporting Kansas City saw at least 3 goals scored in total in each of their final six games, and they allowed at least two goals in the final six. SKC yielded 37 goals on the road last season in 17 matches.

They worked to shore up their defense during the offseason, but preseason was more of the same. They had plenty of defensive lapses and goals conceded. Vancouver also was very giving, coughing up 23 goals in 17 home matches.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 11 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Atlanta United 3, Nashville SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

ATLANTA UNITED FC (+110) is an awfully tough assignment for the fledgling Nashville SC (+210) club in its first-ever MLS regular-season match. The schedule maker wanted to get a jump on the geographical rivalry, but they did Nashville no favors sending last season’s semifinalists in for the opener. This is a very deep Atlanta United team, and they’ll flex a little muscle, pulling away in the second half.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-154) could potentially be taken care of by Atlanta all by themselves. They were the second-highest scoring team in the Eastern Conference last season, averaging 1.71 goals per game, and they’ll have the good fortune of facing an expansion team in the season opener. They’ll find the back of the net early and often in Week 1.

Real Salt Lake at Orlando City SC: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 10:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, Real Salt Lake 1

Moneyline (ML)

ORLANDO CITY SC (+105) is a good play on their home pitch against the visitors, traversing the country to play in the heat and humidity of South Florida. Orlando has picked up two wins and two draws in the previous five meetings with Salt Lake.

Orlando closed out the 2019 regular season failing to win in their final eight matches, but they’ll be able to do enough in front of the faithful at Exploria Stadium to get the 2020 campaign off on the right foot.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-139) is worth a small-unit wager, perhaps in a parlay with Orlando City SC on the 3-way line. Orlando scored at least two goals in each of their final three home outings last season, and they allowed at least two goals in five of the final six. The Over is a good bet.
