MLS Predictions: Three Ways to Bet Sunday's Slat and Unlock MLS Season Pass for Just $5

The MLS season schedule rolls on as we enter the sixth week of play with 15 matches and every single team in action between Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30.

We have the final two games on Sunday to close out the action and as usual, our predictive analytics model has simulated very single match over 10,000 times to identify our MLS best bets and predictions in each game, which have gotten off to a hot start this season.

After just missing our +1004 parlay last night, we're looking at three different ways to bet on today's two games by using our elite Dimers Pro data.

Three Ways to Bet on Sunday's MLS

Rather than just offer a single bet or parlay, we're going to look at some MLS betting strategy and three different ways to use the Dimers Pro data at your fingertips.

1. Use Our Best Bets and Predictions

This one is straightforward. Head on over to our Best MLS Bets page and you'll find out if we have any value on the Moneyline or Total - this is the best place to start as you'll find our model's most favorable bets based on value.

We often see an edge on underdogs or even favorites due to the plus-money nature of three-way lines in soccer (either team can win or there can be a draw).

Additionally, you can use our MLS Match Predictions, the same ones linked to each game above, to see more in-depth analysis. There may not be an edge on a bet, but you can see where we have the strongest probabilities in a game for either team and the total.

Based on our model's insights today, the Under of 2.5 in Austin vs. St. Louis is our best value bet.

2. Both Teams to Score Betting Market

While we don't currently have specific predictions, we do have the data to identify the probabilities for Both Teams to Score in a given match - if you don't mind just a little quick math.

This can be a lucrative market - giving you a path to a payout rather than betting on the draw and one team pulling away, resulting in a loss. It's a good way to get some action on a potentially close game without having to commit to a side.

To use our data in this market, you'll want to open an individual game prediction - like this one for Houston vs. Portland tonight. From there, click on the Correct Score tab where you'll find a grid of every possible correct score combination our model identifies with at least a 1% chance of happening.

To quickly identify those scores with both teams getting a goal, simply remove the outer most number for each team as those will be the scores that result in a clean sheet (0 goals for one team). Then, add up the remaining scores, which we've highlighted here in yellow, and you'll get the prediction for Both Teams to Score. Below, we see that there is a 53% probability predicted by our model for both Houston and Portland to get a goal.

3. Bet on the Exact Score - Straights, Parlays, Round Robins

Now this is a fun market, but they are longshot bets, so be cautious about the risk. However, a little sprinkle here and there, combined with the Dimers data and a little luck, and you just may cash in big.

You've seen the correct score grids, but now we're going to use them for the market they were made for. 

For example, while we missed out on last night's +1004 MLS Parlay by just one goal for Seattle, we also called out each of our most likely victories for our winner picks. Both Columbus and FC Dallas won their matches at a score of 2-1, which we predicted. Those were bets at odds of +750 to +900, making a big payout if you took them straight or even did a little round robin.

Our recommendation is to use the correct score grids to identify the top 3-4 most likely scores in a match. Then, cross reference with our Over/Under predictions, ML and Draw probabilities to see which score lines up with all of our model's datapoints.

Take the strongest probabilities of the scores you've narrowed down from 3-5 games, and play a little round robin, using this Round Robin strategy guide to help you find the right wagers.

Here's what we like in today's matches based on this criteria:

Austin vs. St. Louis

• Under 2.5 (56%)
• Moneyline: St. Louis (46.7%), Draw (26.6%)
• Most Likely Correct Scores: 1-1 Draw (13%), 1-0 SLC (12%)

Portland vs. Houston

• Over 2.5 (52%)
• Moneyline: Portland (46.4%), Draw (25.0%)
• Most Likely Correct Scores: 1-1 Draw (12%), 2-1 Portland (9%)

By combining all our available data, we like a lotto parlay of a 1-0 St. Louis victory, and a 2-1 Portland victory at odds of +7550 on FanDuel. You could also round robin the top two results from each game with four possible combinations.
