MLS Best Bets and Picks for Sept. 5: Weekend Wins for Miami, Red Bulls & LAFC

MLS games are coming thick and fast, with several mouth-watering matches taking place across America today.

Inter Miami and Atlanta United lock horns at Nu Stadium, Seattle Sounders hosts New York Red Bulls, and Los Angeles FC makes the trip to Real Salt Lake. Check out the latest odds and MLS best bets in this preview.

Inter Miami vs Atlanta United MLS Best Bets: Herons to Fly to Another Home Victory

Inter Miami was exceptional last weekend, ending its poor run by putting seven past CF Montreal. The Herons are looking for another three points when Atlanta visits Nu Stadium tonight.

After two draws and two defeats from four MLS games, Inter Miami thumped Montreal 7-1 at Nu Stadium last weekend. The great Lionel Messi was in inspired form, scoring four of Miami’s seven goals.

Atlanta’s three-game winning streak was snapped by Charlotte last weekend. Before the 2-0 home loss, United had secured back-to-back MLS victories over New York Red Bulls, Minnesota United, and Sporting Kansas City.

Inter Miami picked up two wins against Atlanta in 2025. Having won 2-1 away from home, the Florida team claimed a big 4-0 win when the sides squared off in Miami in October.

After such an incredible display last time out, we are backing Inter Miami to pick up another comfortable home victory today. Check out BetMGM’s odds of +1050 for the host to win 3-0.

Our Prediction: Inter Miami to Win 3-0 – +1050, BetMGM

Seattle Sounders vs New York Red Bulls MLS Predictions: Home Side's Winless Streak to Continue?

Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls go head-to-head at Lumen Field today. Who will get the win in Washington?

Brian Schmetzer’s Seattle started the season in excellent form, but the Sounders have not won in the league since mid-May. However, after eight MLS defeats in a row, Seattle has drawn two on the bounce, tying 2-2 with Chicago last time out.

The Red Bulls have lost their last two away games, but Michael Bradley’s men did win at Chicago and Kansas City before that. Can New York RB end its poor run of form with a big three points at Lumen Field?

This is likely to be a tight and tense tussle in Seattle, but we are siding with an away success. The New York Red Bulls win and both teams to score bet stands out at +375.

Our Prediction: New York Red Bulls to Win & Both Teams to Score – +375, BetMGM

Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC Picks: LAFC to End Winless Run

Real Salt Lake welcomes Los Angeles to America First Field in Sandy today. The home team is just outside the playoff places, while LAFC sits third in the Western Conference.

Real Salt Lake looked strong in the early months of the season, but the 2026 FIFA World Cup break halted its momentum. Since returning to action in July, Claret and Cobalt have gone winless in seven MLS matches (five defeats, two draws).

Los Angeles could do with a win after five without. LAFC recently won four in a row and picked up 13 points from a possible 15, but Marc Dos Santos’ side has tied three and lost two of its previous five MLS fixtures.

Both teams will be desperate for maximum points in this one, which should make for a fascinating encounter in Utah. It could go either way, but the Black and Gold Falcons are our soccer picks to prevail.

LAFC is available at +275 to be winning at half time and full time.

Our Prediction: Los Angeles FC HT/FT – +275, BetMGM
