St. Louis CITY SC vs. Seattle Sounders picks and predictions

Prediction

St. Louis CITY SC 1, Seattle Sounders 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+250).

Both teams have drawn frequently over the last few weeks. St. Louis has drawn 3 of its last 6 games and 1 of its last 2 home matches.

It has the better roster, but it also is locked into the top seed and may not give its stars a full 90 minutes. Seattle has drawn 5 of its last 8 games and 6 of its last 10. It has drawn 2 of its last 3 road matches.

Couple both trends and back DRAW (+250).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).

Seattle has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 5 games. It has been held scoreless in 2 of its last 3 and has had under 1.5 expected goals in 4 of its last 5 matches.

For a wider frame, the Sounders have gone Under in 7 of their last 11 matches. St. Louis has gone Under in 2 of its last 5 but has been held scoreless in 2 of its last 4.

Given the Sounders’ style of play and CITY’s potential lack in urgency, take UNDER 2.5 (+100).

St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

St. Louis City SC (15 wins, 4 losses, 10 draws) welcomes LAFC (12-7-9) to CITYPARK Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

St. Louis City sits atop the Western Conference with LAFC No. 2. St. Louis has 49 points through 29 matches. It has allowed 38 goals and scored 56, the most in the West by 11 goals. St. Louis, 10-1-3 at home, has struggled of late, posting a 1-2-2 record in its last 5 matches with 2 straight draws. It is led in scoring by 23-year-old F Nicholas Gioacchini with 10 goals in 27 matches.

LAFC, which was once a powerhouse in the West, has struggled offensively this season. It has scored 44 goals or 1.57 per game while allowing 1.21 or 34. LAFC is led by F Denis Bouanga, who has 14 goals in 25 matches. F Carlos Vela has 9 goals and 7 assists in 28 matches. LAFC snapped a 3-game losing streak on Saturday with a 4-2 home win over LA Galaxy, but it hasn’t played well on the road, just 3-4-6, so it will have a tough time getting a result Wednesday.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +120 | U: -175)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC picks and predictions

Prediction

St. Louis City SC 3, LAFC 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ST. LOUIS CITY SC (+150).

LAFC has lost 2 straight road matches and has lost 4 of its last 5 road matches, having drawn the lone non-loss. It has lost 6 of 13 road matches this season and is taking on the most offensively-skilled team in the conference.

St. Louis has scored 13 goals in its last 4 home matches and has won all 4 of those. It has won 7 of its last 9 matches at home, and it should be able to perform well behind a strong crowd as St. Louis has become a soccer powerhouse.

Expect a great home performance and take ST. LOUIS CITY SC (+150).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

LAFC’s defense has been awful as of late. It has allowed 2 or more goals in each of its last 4matchess. It has scored 10 goals in its last 5 games as well, so the style of play and pace is clear. It can attack with Vela and company, but it struggled to defend, and against an aggressive offense like St. Louis, that may not work to its advantage.

St. Louis has tallied 3 or more goals in 8 home matches and has scored 11 in its last 3 home matches. It has a dynamic offense, as do both sides. Goals should come in bunches. Take OVER 3.5 (+120).

San Jose Earthquakes vs. St. Louis City SC picks and predictions

Prediction

San Jose Earthquakes 2, St. Louis City 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (+115).

The Earthquakes have been terrific at home, and they have taken down some top sides as well, beating Houston, LAFC and the Philadelphia Union at PayPal Park.

San Jose has a dynamic duo of forwards as well that should break through what’s been a soft St. Louis defense. St. Louis has struggled lately and will be on the road, where it hasn’t performed well this season.

St. Louis has lost 3 straight on the road and 4 of its last 5 road matches. That said, take SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (+115).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-160).

St. Louis has gone Over in 5 of 8 road matches this season and has allowed 3 goals per game throughout its last 2.

San Jose has gone Over in 5 of 9 home matches and has had more than 1 expected goal in all but 2 matches. It has also allowed more than 1 expected goal in 5 of 9 home matches.

There should be ample opportunity in this game. Take OVER 2.5 (-160).

Nashville SC vs. St. Louis City SC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Nashville SC vs. St. Louis City SC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

Nashville SC (9 wins, 3 losses, 5 draws) welcomes St. Louis City SC (9-5-2) to GEODIS Park Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. St. Louis City SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Nashville is 6-1-2 at home this season, so it has been resilient at home. It is coming off a 1-1 road draw with Toronto FC. Nashville has not lost a game since April 15, a 9-game unbeaten streak. It has won 4 of its last 5 matches as well. It is led by F Hany Makhtar, who has 10 goals in 17 games.

St. Louis City SC has cooled off since its red-hot start, winning its first 5 games of the season. It is 3-1-1 over its last 5. It is coming off a 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy last Saturday. St. Louis has been led by a dynamic attack, averaging 2.06 goals per game. F Nicholas Gioacchini leads the way with 6 goals in 16 matches.

Nashville SC vs. St. Louis City SC picks and predictions

Prediction

Nashville SC 2, St. Louis City SC 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN NASHVILLE SC (-145).

The reasoning is here for Nashville to come out on top at home, and the value has increased Saturday morning.

Nashville has been on fire as of late, and it has a very talented team to back that up. St. Louis has been impressive, but it has struggled on the road. It has been even worse as of late, losing 3 of its last 4 road matches.

It has had fewer expected goals than its opponent in 4 straight road matches as well. The value isn’t there to take this for a full unit, but for a half-unit, back NASHVILLE SC (-145).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).

St. Louis’ offense has been electric, but it has been hit or miss. Over its last 4 road matches, it has scored just 1 goal and gone Under this total in 3 of 4 matches despite still averaging 2.06 goals per game.

It allowed just 1.06 while Nashville allows just 0.71, so both teams have a rock-solid defense. Nashville has not allowed multiple goals at home this season and has had 4 clean sheets in 9 matches. It has gone Under this total in 5 of 9 home matches as well.

Back UNDER 2.5 (+100).

FC Dallas vs. St. Louis City SC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Dallas vs. St. Louis City SC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

FC Dallas (4 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) welcomes St. Louis City SC (6-3-1) to Toyota Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Dallas vs. St. Louis City SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Dallas, which is led in scoring by USMNT F Jesus Ferreira, who has 5 goals on the season, is 3-1-1 at home. It averages 1.2 goals per game while it allows 1.1. Its defense has held steady since last season, but its offense is down from a 1.41 goals-per-game average. FC Dallas is 2-2-2 over its last 6 games.

St. Louis City SC, on the other hand, won its first 5 games in the MLS but has struggled as of late. It is 1-3-1 over its last 5 games. It is led in scoring by Brazilian F Klauss, who has 5 goals in 9 starts. St. Louis City is a strong 3-1-1 on the road and is averaging a whopping 2.2 goals per game. It is coming off a 2-1 home loss against Portland last weekend.

FC Dallas vs. St. Louis City SC picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Dallas 2, St. Louis City SC 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC DALLAS (-130).

St. Louis City SC is still sitting near the top of the West table, but its consistency has not been there at all. It has had half as many expected goals as its opponent in 3 of its last 5 games and will be facing a team hitting its stride.

St. Louis City SC has been outscored 2-7 in the previous 5 games. It has relapsed, and that struggle should continue. FC Dallas, on the other hand, has been strong at home and has one of the best scorers in the MLS. It has won 3 of its last 4 home games.

Considering FC Dallas’ strength at Toyota Stadium and St. Louis City’s struggles as of late, back FC DALLAS (-130).

Over/Under (O/U)

Given the value here, the Under is my preferred bet. FC Dallas has just one player other than Ferreira (F Alan Velasco) who has scored more than once. It isn’t a deep team in teams of attacking variation. It has also scored multiple goals in just 1 game over its last 6. However, its defense is improving and it has 2 clean sheets over its last 4 and has allowed 5 goals in its last 5 games.

St. Louis City SC, although it scored multiple goals in its first 5 games, has tallied 2 or more in just 1 of its last 5. It has allowed just 1 or none in all but 3 games.

Both teams have sound defenses and, for this value, LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+110).

St. Louis City SC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s St. Louis City SC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

St. Louis City SC (5 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) welcome FC Cincinnati (5-0-2) to CITYPARK Saturday. Kickoff in the high-profile matchup is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Louis City SC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati sits atop the MLS with 17 points through 7 games. They are  4-0-0 at home and 1-0-2 on the road this season. FCC has won 3 straight games, all 1-0, and 4 of their 7 games this season have finished 1-0. They have 5 clean sheets and allow just .57 goals per game. FCC is led offensively by F Sergio Santos, who has 2 goals in 7 games played.

St. Louis City, in their first season, started off strong. They won 5 straight games, 3 on the road, and 3 by multiple goals, but have lost their last 2 — a 1-0 home loss to Minnesota United and a 3-0 road loss to Seattle. St. Louis City is led by F Klauss, who has 5 goals on the season.

St. Louis City SC vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

St. Louis City SC 1, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+230).

FCC has been good on the road, but not great. They have 2 draws in 3 road games. This mimics what the team did a season ago, ending with 7 draws in 17 road matches. FCC has finished within .5 expected goals of their opponent 3 times in 7 games.

While St. Louis has struggled lately, they still have quality wins over Austin and San Jose early on. They should be able to bounce back and get some type of result here. While they haven’t drawn this season, 4 of their 7 games have finished within .5 expected goals, so they play to the level of their opponent.

This should be a close battle, and for the value, I’d play a DRAW (+230).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Unlike last season, FC Cincinnati’s defense looks as legit as they come. They have held dominant offensive teams like Seattle, Nashville and Philadelphia scoreless. They have 5 clean sheets and rank 5th in the MLS in save percentage. They rank 1st in interceptions as well. They have gone Under this total in 5 of 7 games and in 2 of 3 on the road.

St. Louis sits 6th in interceptions and has had a different season in that regard. St. Louis has gone Under in 1 of 7 games, but they have 2 clean sheets and have held their opponent to 0 or 1 in 5 of 7. They have also failed to score in 2 straight after scoring 3 or more in 4 of their first 5. St. Louis has cooled down offensively and has had a relatively strong defense all season, allowing just 8 goals in 7 games.

Ultimately, both defenses have been strong while both offenses have been inconsistent. With that in mind, play to the strength of the teams and take the UNDER 2.5 (-105).
