Sports Betting 101: How to use Dimers Quick Picks

Today's MLS best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.

LAFC vs. Atlanta

BET: Tie with PointsBet (+240)

Atlanta were able to break their horror winless streak last weekend against the Columbus Crew, so naturally there will be some confidence as they take on LAFC who have been having a really rough time of it themselves over the last few weeks. You have to go back six games to find the time LA last won a game. Despite the fact that they should be performing better than what their current form suggests, we think the trip to ATL may be too difficult for them to come away with all three points.

Columbus vs. Chicago

BET: Chicago at the moneyline with PointsBet (+110)

Columbus were downright awful last week as they shipped three goals in a loss to Atlanta. This week they're on the road against Chicago and their away form, which has yielded only two wins from nine games so far this season, and their three game losing streak, suggests that the Fire at plus money represents excellent value.

DC United vs. Nashville

BET: Total goals OVER 2.5 with PointsBet (+116)

In this day's modern game it's extremely rare to find plus money on offer for the o/u 2.5 goals market, but with two defenses that rank in the top ten in the league for goals conceded, the market seems about right for this one as United and Nashville clash, buuuuut we think there is some value for the taking.

Nashville have just come off a rather surprising loss to Inter Miami, giving up two goals to one of the league's cellar dwellers while DC United have been scoring at a higher rate over their last ten matches compared with their overall season figures. This should be a really great game and we're thinking there may be some goals.
