Bob Ventimiglia | MLS/NWSL Analysis, Expert Picks

I got a bunch of flat logos from an artist. The Minnesota one wasn’t great, so I tried myself. And failed.

There were some good ones, though-

This weekend, I think Minnesota United can get some kind of result when they visit Nashville. I have Nashville as favorites, but Minnesota with a 55.7% chance to win or draw. That makes the double chance at +100 a value.

Let’s get that bag

TLDR: We are looking for people to join an NWSL podcast which focuses on weekly predictions. Let me know if you know anyone who would be interested!

This week I like SDFC to get a win, but that play needs a partner to approach even money. I paired it with a small over- 1.5 goals.

Charlotte are good odds at +105 to take the home win. This week is different for me, as it starts a 5 game homestand and a chance for CLT to get their offense right.

When Atlanta host RSL this week, I think we see a low scoring affair.
Plenty of historical data to support this play- find out more on this week’s show!

Philadelphia Union hosts the San Jose Earthquakes this week, and I think we see a bunch of scoring. I like BTTS and over 2.5 as an official play.

This weekend DC United host Inter Miami. This match could have a lot of profitable looks. The one I played is Miami to Win and a match total over 2.5 goals.

NEWS: #RBNY has singed homegrown fullback Matthew Dos Santos to a First-Team contract through the 2028-2029 season with options for the next two years. Dos Santos won the MLS NP Cup with RBII last season, and was called up and started in New York's first two matches of this #MLS season.

LIVE at 8 PM ET tonight to break down the best plays for #MLS Week 3!

Injuries and current for are included in the projections.

FC Cincinnati host Toronto FC and are big favorites. I like goals here, but am still monitoring Evander before I start making pro-FCC plays.

#RBNY host CF Montreal this weekend, and the Red Bulls are the biggest home favorite of the week.

This isn’t without risk; RBNY have had soft opponents this season, and I do expect some volatility moving forward. Last week’s 1 goal performance needed to be higher.

Portland Timbers host the Vancouver Whitecaps.

I WANT to be against the Whitecaps EVENTUALLY, but matches like this keep coming up.

I DO think the books are over-valuing VCW. They probably shouldn’t be even money here.

LAFC hosts FC Dallas.

I love LAFC this week, but -280 sets them as an unplayable home favorite.

However, I don’t think the goal totals are dialed in yet. I like the over on 2.5, and am leaning towards the over on 3.5 (but only if Dallas can find the net…?)

Colorado Rapids host the LA Galaxy.

I love what I saw from LA Galaxy last week, but they’re at altitude here. I think the +120 on Colorado is a value, and I also think +165 on LA Galaxy is value. Sportsbook seems dialed in on this one.

Our second away favorite of the week is the Seattle Sounders at St. Louis City.

Looks like Morris will miss time, while I’ll need to wait on reports for Rothrock and Minoungou. High risk with low reward; Seattle is only +115.

Nashville SC hosts Minnesota United, and this one is all about Nashville absences.

This is an interesting one, and I’m most interested in how Minnesota fairs with their changes.

San Diego FC is the first away favorite of the week, as they head to Kansas City to take on SKC.

Home advantage does make this a more manageable match, but the higher goal total USUALLY favors the home team.

This is going to be a good one for bettors.

The Philadelphia Union’s early season troubles still wouldn’t be enough to have them as home underdogs against the San Jose Earthquakes.

They carry home advantage but at -145 should be unplayable, especially without Makhanya.

Early season troubles have the algorithm down on the Columbus Crew. Chicago Fire come ahead as favorites, based a lot on their 2025 away record.

This game has an expectedly high goal total. Lot’s of potential plays if anyone likes this match.

Charlotte FC host Austin FC in another intereconference matchup. Charlotte hasn’t been in great form, but should still have a considerable home advantage over ATX.

Nothing intriguing or unexpected for goal totals, either.

Week 3 has an interesting #MLS interconference matchup between Atlanta United and Real Salt Lake.

This one should favor the home team (very slightly) which would require their first goal of the season.
If you favor any away team this week, this matchup at +210 could provide real value. #RSL

#InterMiami are favorites over D.C. United. I expect goals, and I like totals and both teams to score.

DC does have a home win against Philadelphia, but I wouldn’t take that as any sign of life. Philly isn’t on Miami’s level.
#DCUnited #VamosUnited

First up is #NYCFC vs #OrlandoCity

NYCFC is the heavy favorite, and their offense is going to be propped up by the Orlando City sub-par backline.

Goals look like over 2.5 and under 3.5. Pretty standard.

#MLS Matchday 3 model projections are in, and there are a few surprises.

I’ll break down each game below- but make sure to check out our picks and predictions episode later today. We go live with the best MLS bets at 8 PM ET!
