Writer’s Picks for Top Games in Matchday 29

Columbus Crew -136 vs New York City FC +330

Inter Miami continues to boast a 10 points lead over Columbus on the MLS Standings.

That could change soon, though, because the Crew is on fire.

Not only has Columbus won 5 straight, but during the streak, they dusted LAFC 3-1 in the League Cup Championship and then followed up the win with a 1-0 victory over Philadelphia.

NYCFC doesn’t have much chance of even forcing a draw.

MLS Pick: Columbus Crew

FC Cincinnati -1.5 +101 vs CF Montreal +1.5 -133

Cincinnati doesn’t take on Montreal playing their best soccer.

After dominating in 3 straight matches, the home side chalk in this struggled in losses to Philadelphia Union and Inter Miami.

Even though Cincinnati is struggling, they’re the pick to cover the spread line.

Montreal was down right pathetic in a 2-0 loss to Philly Union and a 5-0 loss to New England in their last two.

Back FC Cincinnati to win this by at least 2 in regulation.

MLS Pick: FC Cincinnati -1.5

Orlando City SC vs Nashville SC

There are reasons to believe the streak ends on Saturday.

Orlando faces a team that has dropped 5 straight.

Nashville has not only lost 5 in a row, but the road dog in this has lost 4-of-5 by at least 2 goals.

Back Orlando to cover.

MLS Pick: Orlando City

FC Dallas +128 vs Colorado Rapids +189

The Rapids offer decent odds to upset a reeling Dallas squad.

The home team in this matchup has lost 2-of-3.

Dallas beat D.C. 4-3 in their last, but that’s not enough of a reason to back them versus the Rapids.

Colorado has won 4-of-5.

A couple of the wins were versus two of the best teams in the Mexican Liga, America and Toluca.

The Rapids score the upset win.

MLS Pick: Colorado Rapids

LAFC -169 vs Houston Dynamo FC +420

To LAFC’s credit they didn’t allow the 3-1 spanking at the hands of Columbus to deter them in their next game.

Los Angeles bounced back after the Leagues Cup Championship debacle besting Seattle 1-0 in a nice road win.

Houston has lost 2 straight and 3-of-4.

The Dynamo aren’t playing well enough to force a draw.

Go with LAFC at the better than expected odds.

MLS Pick: LAFC

Portland Timbers +118 vs Seattle Sounders FC +204

Before Seattle’s May 12 victory over Portland, these two had drawn in a couple of matches in 2023.

A third draw in the last 4 makes sense because neither team is at the top of their game.

Portland shows a loss and a draw in their last 2.

Seattle has 2 losses and a win in their last 3.

If you want to take a swing on the Sounders at the nice odds, go for it.

But if you’re looking for the likeliest bet to hit, back the draw.

MLS Pick: Draw
