MLS Thursday Night Parlay Guide – April 23, 2026
Seven MLS matches kick off in a stacked mid-week slate on Thursday, April 23, with all games starting between 00:30 and 01:30 UTC. FanDuel is carrying the market across the board, and there are some genuinely interesting prices to work with. Let's break down the best bets, flag the value spots, and build 2-3 parlay combinations worth your attention.
Match-by-Match Breakdown
New York City FC vs FC Cincinnati (-120 / +290 / +320) - FanDuel
NYCFC come in as modest favorites at -120 to win at home. That implies roughly a 54.5% win probability - reasonable for a home side in this fixture. The draw is priced at +290 and Cincinnati are big road underdogs at +320. Cincinnati at +320 is worth a look as a single or dart leg if you believe in their away form, but for parlays, NYCFC -120 at home is the safer anchor leg here.
New York Red Bulls vs D.C. United (-135 / +300 / +360) - FanDuel
The Red Bulls are -135 favorites at home, implying around 57.5% probability. D.C. United are massive +360 underdogs on the road - that's only a 21.7% implied probability. The draw sits at +300. The Red Bulls -135 is a sensible favorite price and pairs well in multi-leg parlays. Value flag: D.C. United at +360 looks generous if they have any road momentum - worth a small single shot if you're feeling bold.
Orlando City SC vs Charlotte FC (+145 / +280 / +180) - FanDuel
This is an open, competitive-looking fixture. Orlando are slight home favorites at +145 - that's barely above even money, implying just 40.8% win probability. Charlotte at +180 on the road represents solid value for a game that looks genuinely 50-50 or close to it. Value flag: Charlotte FC +180 looks generous given how competitive this match projects. The implied probability of 35.7% feels low for a side that should be competitive here. Consider Charlotte as a value leg or single.
Columbus Crew SC vs LA Galaxy (-125 / +300 / +330) - FanDuel
Columbus are -125 at home against the Galaxy, who are priced at +330 away. The Galaxy have star power but road games in MLS are always tricky. Columbus -125 is a reasonable line and works well as a parlay leg. The draw at +300 is worth noting - Columbus home games can sometimes be tight affairs.
Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union (+145 / +260 / +195) - FanDuel
Philadelphia Union are +195 away at Toronto - implying 33.9% probability. Toronto are +145 at home, implying just 40.8%. This is genuinely an open game with three-way odds spread fairly evenly. Value flag: Philadelphia Union +195 looks attractive given their quality as a road side historically. The implied probability feels a touch low and this could be a value leg worth including.
Atlanta United FC vs New England Revolution (+100 / +260 / +270) - FanDuel
Atlanta at +100 to win at home is essentially even money - a very open line. New England are +270 away. This is the most unpredictable game on the slate given how wide open the prices are. Atlanta at even money (+100) is a sneaky value play - you're getting even odds on a home favorite, which is rare. Value flag: Atlanta United +100 at home is arguably the best value on the entire slate. Even-money home favorites in MLS rarely stay this open.
FC Dallas vs Minnesota United FC (Draw: +275 / Minnesota: +240 / Dallas: N/A listed as favorite) - FanDuel
Note: FC Dallas home odds are not listed in the feed, suggesting Dallas are likely favored but the price wasn't captured. Minnesota United are +240 on the road with the draw at +275. Minnesota +240 is an interesting underdog price if you want to add firepower to a parlay tail.
Top Parlay Combinations
Parlay 1 - The Favorites Hammer (3 legs)
- NYCFC to win - FanDuel -120
- New York Red Bulls to win - FanDuel -135
- Columbus Crew SC to win - FanDuel -125
Combined odds: approximately +170 to +185 depending on parlay calculator. Three home favorites in the same evening, all priced between -120 and -135. This is the bread-and-butter safer parlay for the night - not a huge payout but solid value stacking three reasonable favorites.
Parlay 2 - The Value Hunter (3 legs)
- Atlanta United FC to win - FanDuel +100
- Charlotte FC to win - FanDuel +180
- Philadelphia Union to win - FanDuel +195
Combined odds: approximately +750 to +800. This parlay stacks three of the best value prices on the slate. Atlanta at even money at home, Charlotte as road underpriced underdogs, and Philadelphia as a quality side at +195. All three have genuine cases - this is the high-ceiling combination for the night.
Parlay 3 - The Balanced Play (2 legs)
- New York Red Bulls to win - FanDuel -135
- Atlanta United FC to win - FanDuel +100
Combined odds: approximately +155 to +165. A clean two-legger that pairs a solid home favorite with an even-money home side. This is the safest combination on the slate while still offering a worthwhile return. Good for bettors who want a smaller, disciplined play on Thursday night.
Best Standalone Value Bets
- Atlanta United +100 (FanDuel) - Even-money home favorites are rare and represent genuine value
- Charlotte FC +180 (FanDuel) - Implied probability of 35.7% feels too low for a competitive away side
- Philadelphia Union +195 (FanDuel) - Quality road side priced as a significant underdog in an open fixture
- D.C. United +360 (FanDuel) - Extreme dart play only, but 21.7% implied probability could be generous for a live underdog
Final Thoughts
Thursday's MLS slate is loaded with opportunity. The standout value play of the night is Atlanta United at +100 - you genuinely should not be getting even money on a home team this frequently in MLS, and it anchors both Parlay 2 and Parlay 3 comfortably. Charlotte +180 and Philadelphia +195 round out the value picture nicely for those looking to build creative combinations. Stick to your unit sizes and enjoy the action.
