During the regular season, every team plays 34 games. Constantly checking the MLS news is crucial for you to succeed. Besides team form, injuries, suspensions, schedule, international competitions, to name a few, can affect performances.
Don’t always bet on the favorite. For example, expectations around Austin FC, FC Dallas, and the Philadelphia Union for the 2024 season were high. Well, none of the three qualified for the playoffs. Identifying some good underdogs can make you win big time!
Mix your plays. A straight-up winner is the easiest way to make money, but over/under, spread, and props always offer crazy good prices!
On that same page, a very bad team can still have a good player. Don’t always go by the standings. Check the stats every once in a while and make a deeper analysis. That can lead you to some gold!
Best Teams in the MLS
Headquarters wanted me to start with Messi and Inter Miami, but I’m sorry. I feel the urge to talk about the Columbus Crew first. Why? The Crew won the title in two of the last five seasons. Overall, Columbus has won the title three times. Only the Los Angeles Galaxy and DC United have won more, with five and four, respectively.
You should always consider the Galaxy in terms of soccer futures. Los Angeles is a very attractive market for powerful superstars, and no other team has reached the Grand Finale more times than the Galaxy with nine.
We also need to talk about Los Angeles FC, a team led by Denis Bounga, who scored 25+ goals in the last two seasons. The Boys in Gold have embraced a strong winning mentality and can instantly beat any obstacle.
Now, it’s time to talk about Inter Miami. Since Messi took over on the field, the Herons hit the number one spot in the MLS betting trends, especially after conquering the Leagues Cup and the Supporters’ Shield. I do not doubt that Miami will keep investing and growing. David Beckham won’t rest until the team becomes the best in the region.
Last but not least, it’s only fair to talk about the Seattle Sounders, a team that, regardless of the MLS odds, qualified for the MLS soccer playoffs in 15 of 16 seasons in the league. The Blue and Greens have won the Western Conference four times and two MLS Cups. If that’s not enough for you, remember that Seattle is the only MLS team winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Best players in MLS
I’ll start with Messi, considered by many to be the greatest of all time. Like Beckham, Messi has won it all and won’t rest until Inter Miami conquers all possible titles, including the MLS Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
Besides Messi, Inter Miami’s roster includes Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, who also won it all while playing for Barcelona alongside Messi. No wonder the Herons have controlled the soccer betting lines all season long!
Leaving the Herons behind, we’ve Bouanga (LAFC) and Hernandez (Columbus), who are always among the favorites in the MLS outright odds to win the Golden Boot. Bounga even finished on the podium for MVP in the 2023 season.
Finally, always watch Luciano Acosta, the 2023 season MVP. In 2024, no other had more assists than him, with 19. As if that weren’t enough, he also scored 14 goals. FC Cincinnati is lucky to have him!
