Aside from all the College Hoops going on on this Saturday of March, there is also plenty of MLS action on the pitch! You know me, and I love hunting plus money in soccer, so let's see if we can find any in this MLS Saturday Preview!
Let's dive into the slate and find some best bets!
MLS Saturday Best Bets
Columbus Crew vs Charlotte FC – 3/23/2024
Matchup Information – Columbus Crew vs Charlotte FC
- Venue & Location: Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, NC)
- Date: Saturday, March 23rd, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:30pm Eastern
The Pick: Columbus Crew ML (+133) Get these Odds @ BetOnline
I think the Columbus Crew can get this win on the road, and I think we are seeing incredible value. They are unbeaten through 4 games of MLS play, coming off a 3-0 shutout win, and have a +5 goal differential so far this season, netting 7 goals of their own.
They have a very high powered offense, and have shown it travels with them, so I expect nothing less against Charlotte tonight.
Charlotte opened play by shutting out NYCFC at home, but since then have drawn and lost twice on the road, conceding 4 total goals and only netting 2 of their own. The Crew have a greta attack, but are also very well rounded defensively, which I think could be a very tough matchup for Charlotte.
I looked at Columbus TT Over 1.5 at (+125) but decided to go with the ML at (+133) in case of a 1-nil win.
Ultimately, the better team wins this game tonight.
Atlanta United vs Toronto FC – 3/23/2024
Matchup Information – Atlanta United vs Toronto FC
- Venue & Location: BMO Field (Toronto, Canada)
- Date: Saturday, March 23rd, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:30pm Eastern
The Pick: Atlanta/Toronto BTTS- Yes (-155) Get these Odds @ Bovada
This one is juicy, and so I won't be playing it straight, but pairing it with my next pick in a two teamer for plus money. I think both teams score in this gam.
Atlanta has only played three games this season, one in which they were shutout, one where they did the shutting out, and another with 5 total goals. Atlanta has netted 6 goals in their L2 games, and even without a road goal this year, I think they can break through against Toronto.
While Toronto has only cashed BTTS once this season, it was their most recent game. Lorenzo Insigne has found the back of the net twice, and against a very aggressive Atlanta squad, they could be susceptible to the counter attack.
If you feel like Paying the Juiceman, great, but if you'd like a pair for this one, I've got it below.
LA Galaxy vs Sporting KC – 03/23/2024
Matchup Information – LA Galaxy vs Sporting KC
- Venue & Location: Children's Mercy Park (Kansas City, KS)
- Date: Saturday, March 23rd, 2023
- Kick Off: 8:30pm Eastern
The Pick: LA Galaxy/SKC BTTS- Yes (-185) Get these Odds @ Bovada
As you can see, this one is plenty juice as well, but pair them together and you get a (+153) two teamer, and all we need is each team to find the back of the net.
Starting with the visiting Galaxy, they have cashed BTTS in all four games this year. They are coming off a 3-3 draw against STL, and a 2-2 draw against Nashville on the road. So far this season, LA has found the back of the net 9 times, and at least once in every game. They have also conceded 7 goals, and at least once in each game.
They play very run and gun, aggressive attacking soccer, and I think they easily net one or two tonight. Which brings us to the sweaty side of things.
I would be much less confident in this play if Sporting was on the road, but at home, they have scored in both games this season, and are coming off their first multi-goal outing. This is a perfect matchup to keep their offensive rolling, and hopefully the team thinks the same.
Pair these two teams to both score, as well as Toronto and Atlanta, and the two teamer pays (+153)
Toronto/Atlanta BTTS (-155)
LA Galaxy/Sporting KC BTTS (-185)
Two Team Parlay (+153)
