CONCACAF Nations League

United States vs. Mexico

• When: Thursday, June 15, 2023

• Soccer Odds: United States +151 // Mexico +195

United States versus Mexico is always a tough game to handicap. The United States had won 3 straight before the last 2 matches, both of which ended in a draw.

For sure, the Americans should be the favorite. But El Tri has an edge. The Mexicans played as recently as June 10 in a friendly versus Cameroon that ended in a 2-2 game. The U.S. hasn’t played since April 19 and when Team USA did, the game ended in a draw versus Mexico.

Soccer Betting Pick: United States

UEFA Nations League

Spain vs. Italy

• When: Thursday, June 15, 2023

• Soccer Odds: Spain +121 // Italy +220

Neither squad is playing great. In Spain’s last couple of matches, they’ve lost to Scotland by a 2-0 score. El Rojo did beat Norway 3-0 in a match.

Italy fell to England 1-2 a couple of matches back. In their last, the Italians beat Malta 2-0. This match could go either way, but the Italians offer the much better number. So Italy is the play.

Soccer Betting Pick: Italy

Major League Soccer

New York City FC vs. Columbus Crew

• When: Saturday, June 17, 2023

• Soccer Odds: New York City FC +112 // Columbus Crew +215

Neither squad is playing great. In Spain’s last couple of matches, they’ve lost to Scotland by a 2-0 score. El Rojo did beat Norway 3-0 in a match.

Italy fell to England 1-2 a couple of matches back. In their last, the Italians beat Malta 2-0. This match could go either way, but the Italians offer the much better number. So Italy is the play.

Soccer Betting Pick: New York City FC

D.C. United vs. Real Salt Lake

• When: Saturday, June 17, 2023

• Soccer Odds: D.C. United -147 // Real Salt Lake +340

Both squads show 2 wins in their last 5. D.C. United drew 2-2 versus CF Montreal in their last home game. In the home game before, D.C. beat L.A. Galaxy 3-0.

Real Salt Lake has 2 wins and a draw in their last 3. 1 of Real’s victories was a draw against Austin FC. At the odds, the road dog is worth backing.

Soccer Betting Pick: Real Salt Lake

Nashville SC vs. St. Louis SC

• When: Saturday, June 17, 2023

• Soccer Odds: Nashville SC -154 // St. Louis SC +360

Both teams show 3 wins, a loss, and a draw in their last 5. The big difference in recent form is that Nashville’s latest win came against FC Dallas on June 3.

St. Louis’ last win also came on June 3. The victory happened versus Houston Dynamo 3-0. On June 7, St. Louis fell to Dallas in a 2-0 match. Nashville has the more recent victory and this happens on their pitch. The home team prevails.

Soccer Betting Pick: Nashville SC

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Portland Timbers

• When: Saturday, June 17, 2023

• Soccer Odds: San Jose Earthquakes -101 // Portland Timbers +245

Portland heads into this off a win, a 1-0 match versus FC Dallas on June 11. San Jose, though, shows the overall better form.

The Earthquakes have won 2-of-4 with a couple of draws. The Quakes won the last head-to-head, but that was in Portland. Still, San Jose looks tough to beat.

Soccer Betting Pick: San Jose Earthquakes
