Saturday brings us a full slate of Major League Soccer to bet on. We've got a total of 11 matches on the slate today and four more tomorrow, so let's dive in to our MLS best bets for the weekend! Thankfully, we have had plenty of success so far, let's hope we can keep it up as the season really starts to take shape.
We are backing the Red Bulls to win, and are also on their team total over 1.5 (+108). Per usual, best lines on the market by far, courtesy of our friends at BetOnline.

Montreal has yet to win a match this season, and it's not going to start on the road today. They haven't found the back of the net in two straight matches, and have allowed 12 goals in seven away matches this year. Plus they face a Red Bulls offense that is netting over a goal per game with three wins so far this season. New York is 3-1-1 at home this year, scoring twice in four of those five matches.
Their last time on the field was their first home loss, losing to DC United 2-1 after allowing two goals in the opening 45 minutes. Back at home with a chance to redeem themselves, I see the Red Bulls being aggressive against a clearly inferior team. There's no reason to give Montreal hope that they can hang around, so I expect the home team to punish them early and play fearless. Give me the Red Bulls to win and score two for a unit each.
Back the Crew and some goals with me tonight. I also endorse Crew ML/Over 2.5 at (-120), but I think we see both teams find the back of the net in this match.
We already have a total above three which means Vegas expects some fireworks in this one. The Crew have netted 12 goals in their nine matches, giving up just under a goal per game as well. The Earthquakes' matches have been full of goals. In just nine contests, San Jose has scored 19 while conceding 17 goals in the process. That's a match average of four goals per meeting, over 1.8 from each side.
While I don't believe that number is sustainable over the course of the entire season, I do expect San Jose to come out aggressive as usual. They are the highest scoring offense in the MLS so far this season, while allowing the 2nd most goals as well. On the road against Columbus, I see them daring the Crew to keep up offensively, which they are more than capable of doing. Both sides should find the back of the net in this one, but I'll pair it with the home team's ML in order to get us some nice plus money.

Nate loves data and uses his understanding of numbers to help him be a more profitable sports gambler, however he will be the first to tell you this game is about more than just stats.
