Major League Soccer: Saturday's Predictions
Los Angeles Galaxy vs Houston Dynamo Best Bets
Miguel Berry and the Galaxy host the Houston Dynamo tonight
Best Bet: LA Galaxy ML (-110) BetOnline
The LA Galaxy host the Houston Dynamo today, and both teams desperately need a victory. Both sit at the bottom of the Western Conference, with the Dynamo winning one match this year, and the Galaxy being winless. Neither team can find the back of the net, both netting just 5 goals in their first 7 matches.
However, LA is back at home, and has more talent in my eyes. Plus, our friends at BetAlytics have this as a four star projection, with the Galaxy expected to win 1.65-0.68. Houston is coming off a win against the other LA team, but that was at home. On the road this year, the Dynamo have played to two scoreless draws while losing 3-1 to Portland as well.
The Dynamo never score, especially on the road, and right now, I trust the Galaxy to turn things around more than I do the visitors. For (-110), I'm willing to bet on this team finally finding a victory.

Prediction: LA Galaxy Win 2-0 (+800)
Nashville SC vs Real Salt Lake Best Bets
Walker Zimmerman patrols the backline for Nashville SC
Best Bets: Nashville ML (-120) BetOnline
Back the home team in this one. Nashville's offense has always been the question mark with this team, but they've been clicking early in the year. This team has scored 10 goals in just 7 matches, allowing just one per game on the other end. On the flip side of things, Real Salt Lake's back line has allowed double digit goals, while the offense hasn't been helping them out much.
Now, Nashville is coming off two straight losses, as well as one of those being at home. This team is very in touch with the community and wants to make their home fans proud. Believe it or not, Nashville has not allowed a home goal all year long. In three matches they played New England to a scoreless draw, shutout Portland 2-0, followed by shutting out Montreal, 3-0. This team is simply better at home, and it will show today against RSL.
Real Salt Lake is coming off a win but have not shown up on the road this year. I see that continuing against one of the best home teams in the MLS. Give me Nashville.
Prediction: Nashville Wins 2-0 (+700)
