Wednesday has blessed us with a full slate of MLS action on the pitch this evening.
There are 13 games that kick off between 7:30 and 10:30pm Eastern tonight, giving soccer fans the ultimate viewing pleasure.
We’ve looked through the entire slate and found our best bets for this mid-week MLS betting board, and we’re hunting plus money once again.
Let’s dive in!
Wednesday’s MLS Best Bets
Here’s where we stand MLS betting this year.
- 15-15-5
- +2.27 units
Nothing to quite write home about, but hey, profit is profit in this game.
Can we secure a few more units on the pitch tonight?
Orland City SC @ Charlotte FC

Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, NC)
- Date: Wednesday, August 30th, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:30pm Eastern
The Pick: Orlando City Draw No Bet (+113) Bovada
With Orlando City being on the road, I’m going with the PK since it is still plus money. They should win this game outright, but with how flukey soccer betting can be, I’ll take a push with a draw.
Orlando City is currently tied for 2nd in the Eastern Conference. FC Cincinnati is running away with the Top seed, but there’s a three-way tie for 2nd, with two other teams just a point and two points back.
Orlando City needs three points in this game.
With the Philadelphia Union on the road and New England in bad form, now is the time for this team to strike and pull away from the rest of the bunch.
They’ve won three straight in MLS play and 5 of their last 6 regular season games.
Charlotte is much inferior and well out of playoff reach, I think Orlando City breaks them down tonight.
Sprinkle on the ML (+190).
Philadelphia Union @ Toronto FC

Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: BMO Field (Toronto, ON, Canada)
- Date: Wednesday, August 30th, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:30pm Eastern
The Pick: Philadelphia Union ML (+100) Bovada
For even money, I’m going to back this team no matter what at the moment.
The Union are part of that three-way tie for 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, and Toronto is in dead last. Toronto has a -18 goal differential, scoring just 20 and alowing 38 in 26 games.
Philly on the other hand, has scored 42 and conceded 27 in 24 games boasting a 3rd ranked +15 GD.
They’ve won three straight in MLS play and looked dominant in the Leagues Cup.
On the road tonight I think they handle business, just like they did against D.C on Saturday, winning 3-1.
LA Galaxy @ San Jose Earthquakes

Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: PayPal Park (San Jose, CA)
- Date: Wednesday, August 30th, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:30pm Eastern
The Pick: San Jose Earthquakes ML (+113) BetOnline
I’ve got the home team winning the California Clásico, and it’s mainly because of playoff implications.
Not only has San Jose been the better team all year, but the game means more for them.
They are currently tied for 5th in the Western Conference, and 7 teams make the playoffs. They are two points out of 4th place, and there are 4 teams within 3 points behind them.
The payoff race is heating up.
The Galaxy are 2nd to last in the West and are simply playing for pride.
At home against a playoff hungry team, I’m not sure they stand a chance.
