CONCACAF Gold Cup
United States vs. Jamaica
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: United States -145 // Jamaica +350
It’s incredible that the Americans are just -145. The United States is on fire. Counting their Nations League matches, Team USA has won 4 with a draw.
The draw came in an international friendly against Mexico on April 19. Yes, the Americans may not start their best. But the U.S. is deep enough to beat Jamaica with just half of their usual starters stepping onto the pitch.
Soccer Betting Pick: United States -145
MLS
Columbus Crew vs. Nashville SC
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Columbus Crew -104 // Nashville SC +245
Both squads are playing excellent soccer. Home team Columbus shows 3 wins and a draw in their last 4.
Nashville has 3 wins, a draw, and a loss in their last 5. The dog in this blasted the Crew 3-1 in the last head-to-head. The match happened on May 28. So it wasn’t too long ago. The change in venue doesn’t justify the massive odds difference.
Soccer Betting Pick: Nashville SC
Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Colorado Rapids +110 // LA Galaxy +210
Flip a coin if you’re looking for a money line winner in regulation. The Galaxy has drawn in 2 straight. LAG has won a single match in their last 5.
The Rapids have lost 4-of-5 with a draw. LA Galaxy looks like a decent play, but this happens in Colorado. A draw seems like the most probable outcome.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
LAFC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: LAFC -175 // Vancouver Whitecaps +390
Vancouver has a single loss in their last 5. The L came in a road match versus St. Louis on May 23. Other than the loss to St. Louis, the Whitecaps have played well with 2 draws and 2 wins.
LAFC is on a 2-match losing streak. The Los Angeles Football Club appears to have hit their stride. But LAFC offers low odds to beat Vancouver. The Whitecaps will play for a draw.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Portland Timbers vs. New York City FC
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Portland Timbers -112 // New York City FC +270
New York City FC has drawn in 4 straight. The underdog in this match could end up drawing again. That’s how close these teams are and this does happen in Portland. So NYFC might play a conservative match.
The Timbers fell to the Fire in a home game in their last. These two haven’t played against each other since 2021. Head-to-head records are meaningless. Let’s give New York the call because they offer much better odds.
Soccer Betting Pick: New York City FC
Seattle Sounders FC vs. Orlando City SC
- When: Saturday, June 24, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Seattle Sounders FC -104 // Orlando City SC +250
It’s tough to back Seattle or Orlando. The Sounders show 2 losses and 2 draws in their last 4. Seattle hasn’t won since beating the New York Red Bulls 1-0 on May 27.
Orlando has a loss and a draw in their last 2. The underdog in this faces an uphill battle taking on Seattle at home. The Sounders are a much better home squad than road team. Seattle is the pick.
Soccer Betting Pick: Seattle Sounders FC -104
