LAFC vs. Houston Dynamo Pick: Carlos Vela to Score a Goal | +130 at BetMGM

10:30 p.m. ET

The MLS prop of the week is almost too good to be true. LAFC are one of the best home teams in MLS this season. With a fully-healthy side finally returning, I see things opening up very nicely for this attacking side. LAFC have had their struggles but have had a lot of road and Champions League matches recently.

Because of international matches, LAFC have played the least amount of matches in the MLS season and have to play catch up with an adjusted schedule. They head home after a week off with rested legs to take on a visiting Houston side that are the worst road team in MLS. Things are shaping up nicely for LAFC goal scorers today. 

Carlos Vela will lead the attack for LAFC at home. Vela is long overdue for a goal and broke our hearts last time we took him on an anytime goal scorer prop with a missed penalty kick. The Houston defense is what Vela needs to get back to his goal-scoring ways and all but one book agrees with this.

Using OddsJam, I found a big value swing with Carlos Vela at +130 on BetMGM over -143 odds on all other books. It pays to use OddsJam to be able to locate these plus money odds. Lock them in before Wednesday’s kickoff!
