Notes & Updates
May 4, 2025: With a 1-0 loss to Kansas City, the LA Galaxy are now 0-3-8 on the year, putting them dead last in the Western Conference and (+15,000) to repeat as champions on Bet365.
May 3, 2025: The New England Revolution have won four straight matches after going winless through their first four. New England is 9th in the Eastern Conference and (+8000) on DraftKings.
Current Favorites
Inter Miami: With Lionel Messi on the team, there is always a chance. While Inter Miami could not reach their first MLS Cup in franchise history in 2024, they were able to go 22-8-4 for 74 points and the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Through their first ten matches of the 2025 MLS season, Inter Miami has gone 6-3-1 with a (+9) goal differential, which has been good for 21 points.
Vancouver Whitecaps: No team in the MLS has gotten off to a better start to the season than the Whitecaps. In 11 matches, Vancouver is 8-2-1 with a (+14) goal differential and a league-leading 26 points. One of the biggest reasons for their hot start has been the play of Brian White (6 goals) and Pedro Vite (3 goals & 4 assists).
LAFC: While they missed out on winning their second title in three years, LAFC finished the 2024 regular season as the #1 seed in the Western Conference, going 19-7-8 for 64 points in the regular season. With the hopes of making a deeper postseason run this season, LAFC will be led by Denis Bouanga, who was third in the MLS in goals last season and has now scored 20 goals in two consecutive seasons. To start the 2025 season, Bouanga leads LAFC in goals (4) and assists (3), as his club is 5-2-4 on the year with 17 points.

When to Trust (or Fade) the Late Summer Surge
Bettors are in constant pursuit of the next edge, and when it comes to betting on the MLS Cup winner, futures bettors have long been trying to figure out whether late summer hot streaks can lead to postseason success. While the odds of a team trending down the stretch may change, the style of play in the playoffs also changes.
Confidence is certainly needed to make deep postseason runs, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg for what is necessary for a title run. Factors such as playoff experience, tactical flexibility, and comfort in a knockout game should also hold a lot of weight in a bettor's handicapping process.
Summer surges can undoubtedly be helpful for a team regarding securing a higher seed or home-field advantage. Still, it’s important to remember that it is not anything, and sometimes bettors can even find value by fading the surging yet inexperienced postseason team. A good example is the 2016 Seattle Sounders, who struggled mightily down the stretch but were able to rely on their veterans to carry them through the postseason and into a championship.
