MLS Betting – Week 14 Odds
The MLS betting community is getting set for Week 14 and we’re right there with them. D.C. United and Seattle will get the show on the road this Wednesday and online betting handicappers can expect the rest of the games this weekend. Here’s a preview of this Saturday’s action:
MLS Odds: Dynamo top team in MLS
- New York happy to be home after tumultuous road trip
- Houston to spank Real Salt Lake
- D.C. United-Colorado should be the game of the week
MLS Betting: Los Angeles Galaxy @ San Jose Earthquakes
The Galaxy have really struggled at home – only FC Dallas has fewer points at home – so they’ll be happy to get away from it this week. The Galaxy have just two wins this season, which has overshadowed the stellar play of goalie Donovan Ricketts - he has yet to lose this season. While the Galaxy do better on the road, San Jose should be glad to have home-field advantage. They have been brutal this year and are 0-6-1 on the road. The MLS odds should have them as a small favorite in a matchup of two of the worst teams in the MLS. The two teams have a combined four wins.
MLS Betting: Seattle Sounders FC @ New York Red Bulls
The Seattle Sounders have been a mediocre team in the MLS this year but the sportsbook odds makers know their splits are the key. At home, the Sounders are 4-1-2. Away from it, they are just 1-2-3. New York, on the other hand, has been horrible away from home so they’ll be happy to be back in familiar territory. On the road, they are 0-7-1 and have been outscored 14-1.
MLS Betting: Columbus Crew @ FC Dallas
No one is hotter in the league than MLS reigning player of the week – and reigning MVP – Guillermo Barros Schlotto. He scored two more goals last week and is now the leading scorer in the MLS. Meanwhile, FC Dallas has been brutal on home turf and will probably get spanked in this contest. MLS odds makers know that Dallas has the fewest home points in the MLS, given that they have won just one game in their last eight.
MLS Betting: Real Salt Lake @ Houston Dynamo
Hard to believe but Real Salt Lake actually won a game last week. They surprised the MLS odds makers, upsetting Los Angeles with their first win since April 25. But now they’re up against Houston Dynamo - the best team in the league right now - and the Southern team won’t slip up like the Galaxy did last week. They’ll be a big favorite on the sports betting lines.
MLS Betting: D.C. United @ Colorado Rapids
D.C. United and Colorado could be the game of the week. The Rapids are fairly hot right now – they haven’t lost in their last six contests. They are hitting their stride at the perfect time as they get four of their next five games at home. Meanwhile, D.C. United is a top-five team in the MLS and has won two straight. The MLS betting crowd should expect a tight game in this one.
