WATCH: England vs. Denmark Euro 2020 Semifinals odds and bets

Looking at the odds and lines for the England vs. Denmark Euro 2020 semifinal match, with soccer picks and best bets.

England is favored to beat Denmark and advance to the Euro 2020 championship match against Italy. But England found itself in a similar position at the 2018 World Cup, where its semifinal ended in disappointment with a 2-1 loss to Croatia, who had entered the tournament at 30-1.

This time, Denmark opened the Euro at 25-1, but it has become the feel-good story of this tournament after Christian Eriksen nearly died on the field in its first match. That emotional angle and England’s perennial disappointments make the odds all the more intriguing. Check BetMGM for the most updated odds.

MLS Picks: Houston Dynamo vs. Colorado Rapids preview, odds and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Houston Dynamo vs. Colorado Rapids sports betting odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In a Sunday MLS match, the Colorado Rapids (7 wins, 6 losses, 4 draws) travels to meet the Houston Dynamo (4-9-9) at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Below, we preview the Houston vs. Colorado betting odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets and predictions.

Houston vs. Colorado: Key injuries

Houston vs. Colorado: MLS betting odds, lines, picks and predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 3:43 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Colorado Rapids 2, Houston Dynamo 1

Money line (ML)

The COLORADO RAPIDS (+200) are a value on the road, although it’s uncertain if they’ll sub out key members to preserve them for the playoffs or try to finish strong and build momentum. Houston (+115) is playing its final game of the disappointing campaign. However, the Dynamo have given the Rapids fits over the years. In fact, they have two wins, three draws and no losses in the previous five meetings in this series – Colorado won the most recent match 1-0 in Houston on Sept. 10, 2017. If the Rapids were ever going to break the dominance of Dynamo, it’s here, but resting of top players muddles the picture a bit.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. I’m just not feeling Over 3.5 (-106). Colorado could power it down a bit with a spot in the postseason already locked up, and Houston could also take its foot off the gas as this is a lame duck match since it’s already eliminated from playoff contention. With both sides facing nothing to play for, the offense might not flow nearly as much. Still, Colorado has averaged nearly two goals per game while posting a plus-6 goal differential, and Houston averages 1.3 goals per game while coughing up 1.7 goals per outing. The alternate line of Over 2.5 (-239) is tempting, but a bit expensive.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 3:31 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, Nashville SC 1

Money line (ML)

ORLANDO CITY SC (-115) is coming off a 2-1 victory against the Columbus Crew Thursday, its third straight win while outscoring the opposition 7-2. It’s looking to wrap up the regular season with three points and head into the playoffs with momentum.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-106) is a good play in this one. The last time these teams met we saw a total of four goals on the board. In the past six matches for O. City, we have seen an average of 3.2 goals per game, while Nashville has averaged 2.2 goals per game. It won’t be end-to-end action, but we’ll inch across the finish line for at least three total goals. For an extra bonus, play YES (-134): BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.

MLS: FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Wednesday’s FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls sports betting odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

FC Cincinnati (1 win, 1 loss, 0 draws) faces the New York Red Bulls (1-1-0) in a pivotal final Group E matchup of the MLS is Back Tournament Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Fla.

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.

Real Salt Lake vs. Colorado Rapids: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:50 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Colorado 2, Real Salt Lake 0

Moneyline (ML)

Real Salt Lake (+130) is a slight favorite in this rendition of the Rocky Mountain rivalry, but the smart money is on COLORADO as a +195 dog. The Rapids started the 2020 regular season with 2-1 wins over DC United on the road and Orlando City SC at home. Salt Lake opened with an 0-0 draw at Orlando City and a 1-1 home draw with New York Red Bulls.

Salt Lake won four of the last five meetings between the two clubs at an aggregate score of 14-2, but the Rapids started out much improved in 2020 with four different goal scorers while getting 12 of 27 shot attempts on goal through two games. Real Salt Lake hit the target on just six of 19 shots in their opening two matches.

Real Salt Lake has dominated this rivalry series to date, but the two sides have met too many times for such a stark difference. Look for Colorado to get one back here at a solid value.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Colorado to win returns a profit of $19.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

The best bet in this one is UNDER 2.5 total goals at -112, while the Over is just -118. Real Salt Lake’s first two games of the season saw a total of just two goals, while Colorado’s had six total goals scored.

Scoring is down to open the MLS is Back Tournament. The rust from the long pause in play coupled with the importance of the rivalry game in this Group D contest will mean a tight affair.

Toronto FC vs. DC United: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:40 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Toronto FC 2, DC United 1

Moneyline (ML)

Toronto FC (-125) is the favorite to win its opening match of the MLS is Back Tournament over DC United (+310). Toronto started its 2020 MLS regular season with a 2-2 draw at the San Jose Earthquakes and a 1-0 home win over New York City FC.

United opened the season with a 2-1 home loss to the Colorado Rapids, but rebounded to beat Inter Miami CF 2-1 before the season was put on hold.

Each team has one win with the two sides playing to three draws in their last five meetings dating back to June 2018. Going back to last season and the 2019 MLS Cup, TFC is 4-1-1 in its last six games. DCU is 2-2-2.

Both sides are missing just one player, as MF Michael Bradley (ankle) returns for TFC and MF Federico Higuain (knee) suits up for DCU. Side with the favorites, who have had the chance to benefit from a proper rest period after going to the MLS Cup three of the last four seasons.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on TFC to win returns a profit of $8. Betting this exact score at +775 odds would return a profit of $77.50 on a $10 bet.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected goal total is set at 2.5. TFC cruised to a lopsided 5-1 victory when the two clubs last met last October, snapping a stretch of three games between the two which saw a total of just three goals scored (DC United went 1-0-2).

Two of the first three games of the MLS tournament ended 1-0, but expect a little more offense from these two veteran clubs.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Werder Bremen: Bundesliga odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday, May 16 at 3:25 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen 3, Werder Bremen 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEVERKUSEN (-139) is a solid play on the road on the match result line. In addition, LEVERKUSEN TO WIN TO NIL (+220) is a nice bet, as a clean sheet could be a really good bet. Bremen has failed to score in each of its past five home matches, and they have dropped six in a row at home overall. Bremen is staring relegation in the face, but Monday is not the day the trajectory turns around.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Leverkusen (-139) to win returns a profit of $7.219, while taking Leverkusen to win to nil (+220) fetches a profit of $22.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-154) is a solid play, as Bremen has managed a Bundesliga-worst minus-28 goal differential across just 24 matches. Leverkusen will score early and often, even if it shows a little rust early in the match after the lengthy layoff. If Bremen could help out with a goal, great, but that’s a long shot, as it has managed a league-low 27 goals (tied with Dusseldorf). Even if Bremen can’t score, Leverkusen should find the back of the net enough to inch the over across the finish line.
