We’re already in week 9 of the 2017 MLS season, and a few teams are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Now, members of Bovada can already place their bets on which team wins the MLS championship. Let’s take a look at some of the favorites and underdogs.
Bet on FC Dallas: +600
FC Dallas is 4-3 through seven games this season. They are considered by most soccer betting experts to be one of the best teams in the league right now, having son the U.S. Open Cup in 2016.
Dallas is expected to do big things again this season, and are one of the top MLS teams favored to win the championship with odds of +600.
Bet on LA Galaxy: +800
Despite having one of the worst records thus far in the season, LA Galaxy are one of 2017 MLS championship betting favorites according to most online sportsbooks in the US. Galaxy lost Omar Gonzalez at the end of 2016, but still have one of the more talented rosters in the MLS.
LA is just 1-3 in their past four games. They will need to make some real changes if they hope to make it into the playoffs.
Bet on Orlando City: +1200
If you ask someone which MLS team is favored to win the championship this year, they probably won’t mention Orlando. The first Florida-based MLS team is not generally expected to win the title this year, but has a great chance to make US gambling news with an upset victory.
At the moment, Bovada lists Orlando City’s odds to win the MLS Championship at +1200. They’re the top team in the Eastern Conference right now, and seem poised to make it into the playoffs.
