MLS Week 14: May 22-28, 2023

San Jose Earthquakes vs FC Dallas | Stake San Jose at Home

When: Saturday, May 27, 2023, 10:30 pm ET
Where: PayPal Park | Dallas, Texas
TV / Streaming: ATV, MLS Season Pass

The San Jose Earthquakes are having two completely different seasons so far in MLS play. At home, they are 5-0-1 for 16 points from six games. But on the road, they are winless at 0-5-2 for just two points from seven games, and overall, they have a -1 goal differential. 

The good news for San Jose is they are home this weekend, hosting FC Dallas in a matchup of top-five Western Conference teams. Dallas is tied for third place, four points ahead of San Jose. Dallas is 2-2-2 on the road, and they have posted a +3 goal differential through the first 13 games of the season. 

These teams tend to play it even with five draws in their last seven meetings. San Jose is 4-1-6 against Dallas since 2017, with a 2-0-4 record at home in that span. The Earthquakes have allowed just three goals in their six home games which provides a big challenge for Jesus Ferreira, the top goalscorer for Dallas. 

Money can be made on San Jose this weekend as MyBookie has them listed at +113 on the moneyline. FC Dallas is +240, with a draw at +250. The way the Earthquakes play at home, you can’t bet against them this weekend.

New England Revolution vs Chicago Fire | Ride The Revs

When: Saturday, May 27, 2023, 10:30 pm ET
Where: Gillette Stadium | Foxborough, Massachusetts
TV / Streaming: ATV, MLS Season Pass

Normally looking at the stats and records, taking the New England Revolution at home over the Chicago Fire would be a no-brainer. However, this weekend, New England is without right-back Brandon Bye and designated player Carles Gil. Gil leads the team with three goals and four assists, but he limped off the field last week against Philadelphia.

Even still, the Revs are 3-0-5 against Chicago in the last eight meetings overall, and the Fire are 1-4 on the road this season. Chicago has a -3 goal differential on the year, and they’ve scored just 18 goals in 12 games this season. New England hasn’t lost at home this season, and overall, the third-place team in the East has  +5 goal differential. 

At MyBookie, New England is -111 on the moneyline, while Chicago is +305. A draw is +270 with over 2.5 goals at -143 and under 2.5 goals at +112. New England to win is a smart play, and the Revs to win or draw is a safe bet.

Nashville SC vs Columbus Crew | Mukhtar the Magic Man

When: Sunday, May 28, 2023, 8:30 pm ET
Where: GEODIS Park | Nashville, Tennessee
TV / Streaming: ATV, MLS Season Pass

Last year’s MLS Most Valuable Player, Hany Mukhtar, is at it again with eight goals and six assists in Nashville’s first 14 league games. This weekend Nashville SC hosts Columbus Crew in an Eastern Conference showdown. Mukhtar had an assist in the 1-0 win over the Crew last year and scored in the draw between the teams in 2021. 

Last week, Mukhtar scored both of Nashville’s goals in a 2-1 win over Charlotte FC. He has scored more than one goal in eight contests over the last 12 months, most in MLS. Mukhtar has also been involved in a league-best 76 goals since the start of the 2021 season. 

At MyBookie, Mukhtar is +113 to score on Sunday and +340 to score the first goal. With the game on national TV (FS1), look for the reigning MVP to put on a show to lead second-place Nashville.

The 2022 Major League Soccer is heading towards the heart of its regular-season schedule, with most teams hovering right around the 40% mark in games completed.

Los Angeles FC and the Philadelphia Union lead their respective conferences in points, while the Portland Timbers, last year’s playoff runner-ups, are down in 10th place in the West.

Here are the best games to bet on this weekend so you can get ready to place your bets against the MLS Odds.

MLS Weekend Games Preview – May 26th Edition | Soccer Betting Analysis

Los Angeles FC vs San Jose Earthquakes

Starting with the negative, LAFC has been given -250 odds of winning the match, which means that bettors will have to sacrifice a big risk in order to return a decent profit; however, it could certainly be much worse as heavy favorites are often awarded much worse odds.

L.A. has been dominant thus far, managing an 8-2-3 record and winning three of its last four league matches. Carlos Vela has done a tremendous job leading one of the league’s best attacks, while the team’s defense is also one of the best in the MLS, giving them a near-perfect balance.

The Earthquakes are down in 11th place in the Western Conference and have a 3-5-5 record as they have struggled to continually pick up three points from their encounters.

They have one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five domestic matches, and they have not beaten above ninth place in the table. They showed promise as an underdog pick early in the season, and although they have been able to play teams to draws in the past, they do not have the firepower to match L.A.

New England Revolution vs Philadelphia Union

The Union is not the best team in the world at securing three points, but they also rarely ever lose. Phili is 6-6-1 thus far and has drawn five of their last seven matches, losing the other two, somehow still managing to stay atop the Eastern Conference; they have +230 odds of winning, which would be a good backup pick, but a draw at +25- looks especially appetizing.

The New England Revolution has -105 odds of winning, which is somewhat insulting against the East’s leaders and for a squad that has only gone 4-3-5.

The Revs are not an overpowering, goal-scoring unit either, so the chances they break the deadlock and come away with three points are not great. It might not be the “sexiest” pick in the world, but a draw looks great here.

Inter Miami CF vs Portland Timbers

The Timbers have drastically underperformed their expectations, going 3-6-5 to start their year— they have been playing better, though they are still struggling to pick up results. Their defense is still suspect, but they look more connected, and performances often matter more than the final results.

Miami is favored in the match but has a horrible goal-scoring record, only one real goal-scoring threat, and leaks far too many goals. The teams’ recent form might contradict this pick, but Portland is the team to bet on as they have looked better over the past few weeks.
