Saturday April 18 Parlay Picks: MLS, Liga MX & Argentina
Saturday April 18 is stacked with soccer action across four competitions, and FanDuel is serving up some genuinely interesting prices. From Liga MX night games kicking off at 02:00 UTC to Inter Miami rolling into Colorado at 21:30 UTC, there is plenty of material to build smart parlays. Let us break down the best opportunities, flag the generous odds, and give you two to three combinations worth considering.
Game-by-Game Odds Breakdown
Liga MX - Atlético San Luis vs Pumas (02:00 UTC)
Both sides are priced at +160 (FanDuel) for the win, making this a remarkably balanced matchup on paper. The draw sits at +260 (FanDuel), which implies roughly a 28% probability. That feels slightly generous for a genuinely even contest - if you believe this one could go either way, the draw offers real value here. In a match where neither side is clearly favored, backing the draw as part of a multi-leg parlay is a credible angle.
Liga MX - Mazatlán FC vs Querétaro (02:00 UTC)
Querétaro are priced as slight favorites at +155 (FanDuel), while Mazatlán are at +175 (FanDuel). That is a very narrow gap. The draw at +250 (FanDuel) is worth a note. With the home side at +175, there could be mild value there - home field in Liga MX is not something to dismiss, and the market is essentially calling this a coin flip. Flag: Mazatlán +175 home looks slightly generous versus the implied 36% probability.
MLS - Toronto FC vs Austin FC (18:00 UTC)
Toronto FC are solid favorites at -105 (FanDuel) - essentially a near-even money proposition at home. Austin FC as the away side are priced at +300 (FanDuel), reflecting the difficulty of winning on the road. The draw is at +250 (FanDuel). Toronto FC at -105 is one of the most playable lines on the board today - near even money for a home side is a comfortable inclusion in a parlay without asking you to take on excessive risk.
Primera División Argentina - Gimnasia La Plata vs Estudiantes de Río Cuarto (19:00 UTC)
Gimnasia La Plata are priced at -115 (FanDuel) as home favorites, which is a modest price for a team playing on their own patch. Estudiantes de Río Cuarto at +380 (FanDuel) is a substantial underdog price. Flag: Gimnasia La Plata -115 looks like credible value for a home side - the implied probability sits around 53.5%, which seems conservative. This is a leg worth anchoring a parlay around.
MLS - CF Montreal vs New York Red Bulls (19:30 UTC)
Montreal are slight home favorites at +155 (FanDuel) with the Red Bulls priced at +165 (FanDuel). Both sides are very close in the market's eyes, making this a tough standalone call. The draw at +280 (FanDuel) is interesting. For parlay purposes, Montreal at +155 at home has a touch of value - backing the home side at plus-money is rarely something to ignore.
Primera División Argentina - Instituto de Córdoba vs Estudiantes (21:15 UTC)
Instituto are priced at +175 (FanDuel) as home underdogs, with Estudiantes at +185 (FanDuel) and the draw at +210 (FanDuel). That draw price of +210 (implied probability ~32%) stands out in a fixture where all three outcomes are bunched together. This is one of the tightest three-way markets on the card and the draw is genuinely live at that price.
MLS - Colorado Rapids vs Inter Miami CF (21:30 UTC)
Inter Miami CF are clear road favorites at -115 (FanDuel). Colorado Rapids have no listed price for the win in the provided data, and the draw sits at +320 (FanDuel). Miami at -115 on the road reflects their quality, and this is arguably the most confident single-outcome lean on the entire slate. Flag: Inter Miami -115 away is a strong anchor for any parlay - the market is telling you Miami are the better side here regardless of venue.
Recommended Parlay Combinations
Parlay 1 - The Value Home Side Treble
- Toronto FC to win - -105 (FanDuel)
- Gimnasia La Plata to win - -115 (FanDuel)
- Inter Miami CF to win - -115 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +175 to +185. Three sides the market leans toward, with Gimnasia and Miami at near even-money creating a sensible risk-reward balance. Toronto at home adds an extra layer of comfort. This is the most conservative of the three combinations - designed for bettors who want a realistic shot at a near-double-up.
Parlay 2 - The Plus-Money Swing
- Mazatlán FC to win - +175 (FanDuel)
- CF Montreal to win - +155 (FanDuel)
- Inter Miami CF to win - -115 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +600 to +650. Two home sides at plus-money anchored by Miami's road form. Mazatlán at +175 at home feels slightly generous, and Montreal at +155 in a near coin-flip match gives you excellent upside. Miami keeps one foot on the ground. This combination offers a strong potential payout with three defensible legs.
Parlay 3 - The Draw Hunter Double
- Atlético San Luis vs Pumas - Draw - +260 (FanDuel)
- Instituto de Córdoba vs Estudiantes - Draw - +210 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +1045 to +1100. A two-leg draw parlay is a niche but smart play in matches where the market signals genuine uncertainty. The San Luis vs Pumas line at dead even for both sides screams draw potential, and the Instituto vs Estudiantes triple-cluster market makes the draw just as live as either outright result. High risk, high reward - but both draws are logically grounded.
Best Value Flag Summary
- Mazatlán FC +175 (FanDuel) - Home side at plus-money in a near-even market deserves respect.
- Gimnasia La Plata -115 (FanDuel) - Conservative price for a home side, implying only 53.5% - could easily be higher.
- Inter Miami CF -115 (FanDuel) - Road favorite lean is strong here, one of the clearest single-outcome signals of the day.
- Atlético San Luis vs Pumas Draw +260 (FanDuel) - Both sides priced at +160 makes the draw at +260 compelling value.
