With so few games having been played, most of them are going to be mainly vibe picks with some data sprinkled in.
MLS Expert Picks Matchweek 2
San Jose Earthquakes vs LA Galaxy
The Game: San Jose Earthquakes vs LA Galaxy, Saturday, March 2, 10:30 PM ET
| Team | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
| SJ Earthquakes | +100 | O3.5 (+135) |
| LA Galaxy | +225 | U3.5 (-170) |
| Draw | +280 |
Pick: LA Galaxy (+225)
The Galaxy were great against Inter Miami last weekend, the second they inverted their wingers they dominated proceedings. If not for Heron's keeper Drake Callender LA Galaxy would have won decisively.
San Jose is nowhere near Miami's quality and proved that with a 2-1 loss to open the year.
I really liked what I saw from LA's Joseph Paintsil and Gabriel Pec to suspect they'll push LA to get all three points against San Jose.
Colorado Rapids vs Nashville SC
The Game: Colorado Rapids vs Nashville SC, Saturday, March 2, 9:30 PM
| Team | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Colorado Rapids | +135 | O2.5 (+100) |
| Nashville SC | +195 | U2.5 (-125) |
| Draw | +245 |
Pick: Nashville SC (+195)
Did Colorado sign a boatload of stars I don't know about? No. They made some good gs for sure, but enough to have us forget that dismal 2023 season? Also, no.
Nashville had a good 2023 with the best defensive record in the league and still boasts a striker in Hany Mukhtar who's always in the Golden Boot discussion
New England Revolution vs Toronto FC
The Game: New England Revolution vs Toronto FC, Sunday, March 3, 2 PM ET
| Team | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
| NE Revolution | -155 | O2.5 (-170) |
| Toronto FC | +360 | U2.5 (+135) |
| Draw | +310 |
Pick: NE Revolution (-155)
The Revolution was incredible on home field last year with 2.35 points per game. That was the second-highest rate in the league. They welcome a poor TFC side to Gillette Stadium and atone for last week's 3-1 L to Christian Benteke.
No way New England plays as ill-disciplined as they did last week. A red in the first half-hour sank them early and they could never recover.
