The midway point of the MLS regular season is nearly upon us.Many teams have already put themselves in a solid position to make a run at the MLS Cup.

However, there is still plenty of room to make a move and try to improve someone’s seed for a run in the postseason.

This weekend, a pair of Eastern Conference contenders in New York City FC and Columbus will meet to try and establish themselves in a better spot to win a title.

Here’s a look at what to expect for this weekend.

NYCFC is Back on the Gas

Friday, June 14th, 2024

New York City FC was ashamed of missing out on the postseason last year.

However, the Cityzens showed that was just a blip on the radar of what the MLS hopes can be one of their signature franchises.

NYCFC has already equaled its win total from last season, nine, in just 16 matches so far this season.

NYCFC is +107 on the three-way moneyline tonight to keep the momentum going against the defending MLS Cup champions, the Columbus Crew.

The Crew hit a really rough stretch in April, going through a seven-match winless streak.

Being forced to settle for draws in five of those matches saw Columbus sink in the standings.

While the Crew have won three straight matches to move up to seventh place in the standings, they will still have some work to do.

Columbus is starting difficult back-to-back games, playing NYCFC and Inter Miami.

The Crew is +220 to win this match in regulation, while the match is +270 to end in a draw.

The over/under has been set at 2.5 goals.

NYCFC has been stingy on defense, limiting opponents to 17 goals in 16 matches.

While Columbus has scored two or more goals in three straight matches, this one may be worth backing to stay under the total.

MLS Pick: Columbus Crew

Inter Miami Has Weakened Roster

The Philadelphia Union has been forced to settle for more draws than it would have liked this season.

Thanks to piling up eight ties, the Union is in eighth place and is in a difficult battle for the postseason.

Philadelphia will get a break when it plays against the Eastern Conference-leading Inter Miami this weekend.

The Union are -110 to win on the three-way moneyline thanks to Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez being away on international duty in Copa America.

Matias Rojas will also be out for Copa America for Inter Miami.

The Herons have been on the road, going unbeaten in their previous five road matches.

However, without Messi and Suarez, it’s hard to want to back Inter Miami at +260 to win this match in regulation.

This match is +280 to end in a draw.

MLS Pick: Draw

Can FC Cincinnati Grab Win on the Road?

The Orange and Blue have two games in hand on the Herons and only trail by two points in the standings.

FC Cincinnati has only allowed 16 goals so far this season.

The Orange and Blue are +145 on the three-way moneyline to take on the San Jose Earthquakes.

The Earthquakes, who are +170 to win at home, have hit a rough run of play.

San Jose has lost three of its previous four matches.

The Earthquakes have allowed two or more goals in three of the past five matches.

This may be a good spot to back FC Cincinnati to win on the road.

MLS Pick: FC Cincinnati
