Best MLS Bets, Picks, & Predictions for Saturday, June 17

OddsJam soccer betting expert FootyChancellor is back with his favorite bets for Saturday night’s MLS action.

A pair of goal scorers are on the cards for action this weekend. The over in both matches currently sits around -135 so we are expecting goals on Saturday.

D.C. United vs. Real Salt Lake Pick: Christian Benteke to Score | +130 at BetMGM

7:30 p.m. ET

D.C. United host Real Salt Lake in mid-table battle between teams looking to get into the playoff race. D.C. are barely hanging on to the playoff spot and have had a rough stretch only winning one of the last five matches. Our attention is solely on D.C. striker Christian Benteke in this one. The former Crystal Palace superstar has scored in three of his past five starts and will look to continue his hot streak against a shaky Salt Lake backline. Salt Lake have conceded a goal in five of the past seven matches and the over hit in three of the last four. Look for Benteke to have his chances and cash in.

Nashville vs. St. Louis Pick: Hany Mukhtar to Score | -105 at BetMGM

8:30 p.m. ET

Golden Boot leader Hany Mukhtar is our other goal scorer and this one should cash easily! Hany has been on fire with four goals in his last five matches and 52 overall since joining Nashville. Nashville are one of the best home sides in the league and have won their last six matches, scoring 14 goals over those matches. Look for Hany to bag another goal at home against a St. Louis side that is struggling on the road with no wins in their past five matches. 

Using OddsJam, I was able to grab Benteke at +130 on BetMGM when he is being posted at +114 for other books. The big value swing is with Hany Mukhtar at -105 on DraftKings over -132 odds on other sites. It pays to use OddsJam to be able to locate these odds. Lock them in before Saturday’s kickoff!
