MLS Odds, Predictions and Picks for 29 August 2026: LAFC to Win in Capital

We have another huge weekend in MLS to look forward to, with several big games taking place at both ends of the league table.

This Saturday, DC United hosts Los Angeles FC, New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union lock horns, and Toronto FC welcomes New York City FC in some of the standout games.

Check out the latest MLS odds and best picks in today's betting preview.

DC United vs Los Angeles FC MLS Odds & Picks: LAFC to Pick Up the Points in DC

DC United and LAFC battle at Audi Field this weekend. Despite being away from home, Los Angeles is the favorite with BetMGM.

DC United is struggling for wins, picking up just one in ten MLS games. The Eagles are winless in three in the league and have just suffered back-to-back defeats to New England Revolution and Charlotte FC.

Los Angeles has also gone four MLS matches without tasting a victory. However, after defeats to San Diego FC and Colorado Rapids, the Black and Gold drew with Portland Timbers last time out.

LAFC’s recent blip has seen the team drop to third in the Western Conference, five points behind leader Vancouver Whitecaps. Marc Dos Santos' troops will be eager to bounce back with a win in the capital.

With both teams in poor form and desperate for points, this promises to be an entertaining game at Audi Field. Our money is going on the away team, and MLS odds of +230 for LAFC to win and both teams to score are tempting.

Our Prediction: Los Angeles FC Win & Both Teams to Score – +230, BetMGM

New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union Predictions: U’s to Keep Up Fine Form with Away Win

New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union go head-to-head at Sports Illustrated Stadium later today. The Red Bulls are looking for their first MLS victory in four games.

New York is low on confidence after four defeats in six MLS fixtures. Michael Bradley’s team needs points and will want to make home advantage count this weekend.

Philadelphia languishes in 13th place in the East, but Union has been in excellent form and has been playing great soccer of late. Since losing 6-4 in a crazy game at Inter Miami in May, the U’s are unbeaten in MLS action under interim head coach Ryan Richter (four wins, two draws).

We fancy Philadelphia’s excellent run to continue in New Jersey, and the away victory is available at +115.

Our Prediction: Philadelphia Union Win – +115, BetMGM

Toronto FC vs New York City FC MLS Tips: Canadians to Take the Points

Toronto and New York City clash in Canada on the weekend. The home team has shown a big improvement lately, and Robin Fraser’s men are eyeing up a third victory in four MLS games when the Boys in Blue visit.

Toronto has made itself tough to beat in recent weeks, losing one of seven. The Reds’ good form continued last weekend, as Toronto picked up an impressive 2-1 win at Inter Miami.

New York is winless in four MLS games, drawing two and losing two since seeing off Chicago Fire. Still, after back-to-back losses, City drew at New England last weekend.

BMO Field has been a fortress this season, with just Atlanta United and Inter Miami leaving with all three points. In their last home league fixture, Fraser’s boys came from two goals down to tie 3-3 with Charlotte.

We can see in-form Toronto getting back to winning ways this weekend. The home team is available at +280 to be winning at half time and full time.

Our Prediction: Toronto FC HT/FT – +280, BetMGM
