Our mission is to provide you with reliable MLS betting tips, so we only release them when they are ready.

In any case, you get a fresh batch of MLS picks a couple of days before a new matchweek begins.

This allows us to analyze key factors like team changes, player injuries, weather, and other variables.

All of which are necessary for delivering thoroughly researched, comprehensive MLS predictions.

How to Use Our MLS Tips and Soccer Betting Advice

You can take our MLS predictions today to reputable offshore betting sites that accept US bettors.

There are some select online sports betting sites we recommend with quality betting odds for the MLS.

Altogether, you can make Major League Soccer predictions on moneylines, spreads, totals, and much more.

We match the most competitive odds out there to each of our MLS tips. This means you can easily find the best value for your favorite wager at a site you can trust.

Our expert team recommends the following bet types – try these out first!

MLS Moneyline Picks

The easiest way to bet on MLS soccer is via moneyline betting markets, which offer a 3-way opportunity.

There are three markets – Team A to Win, Team B to Win, or Draw/Tie.

You decide the betting odds that make the most sense to you, or simply back our prediction and get your money down.

For example, if you were making MLS picks today on Inter Miami to beat Orlando City, Miami must outscore Orlando for you to win your bet.

A loss would obviously lose you your stake, but so would a tie.

MLS Totals Picks (Over/Under)

If you’ve reviewed the picks and gone through all the MLS betting advice, yet you’re still unsure who to bet on, totals markets are a good option.

Totals, also known as over/unders, involve wagering on a number set by the bookie for various events – for instance, goals, corners, or cards.

To win totals bets, you must predict whether the total in a game is over or under the number set by the bookie.

This could, for instance, be a total of 6.5+ cards for Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami vs Atlanta. Or for there to be under 3.5 goals in the same match.

MLS Picks Against the Spread (ATS)

As betting against the spread is another top way to wager on MLS matches, we pick the best MLS bets available from the ATS markets in any given matchweek.

Soccer spreads, also known as handicaps, are set by bookies to equal the playing field between teams of contrasting strength.

Offshore sportsbooks may assign a -1-goal handicap to the stronger team and a +1 to the weaker team at similar odds.

This means you must choose whether the weaker team can win with a hypothetical advantage or if the stronger team can overcome a handicap to beat the spread.

MLS Parlay Picks

MLS soccer parlay predictions, also known across the pond in the UK as accumulator bets, have paid out some of the biggest gambling wins in soccer history.

They work by combining several selections into one bet, whereby winnings and stake accumulate onto the next leg of the wager.

Of course, we recommend regular MLS accumulator tips such as Vancouver Whitecaps, Seattle Sounders, Houston Dynamo, and Inter Miami all to win.

However, you can also wager on stuff like yellow cards, clean sheets, and goals in a same-game parlay (SGP) with bookies that have this facility.

MLS Playoff Predictions

Make sure to check in with us for our free MLS picks for the Playoffs that are always 100% free to all.

You’ll find some betting offers around this time, as offshore sportsbooks aim to get more business through the door.

Some of the MLS best bets include everything from the MLS Cup winner, Conference Winners, To Reach the Final and much more.

One of our favorite MLS predictions is for the top scorer in the playoffs.

With a higher caliber of players now plying their trade in the competition, it’s becoming more interesting to predict the sharpest shooter in the MLS.

Other top bets for the playoffs are most cards, which is another interesting one to consider.
