Three MLS fixtures on the Sunday/Monday slate offer real parlay value. Here are our best combinations with live market odds.
MLS Parlay Picks: Sunday May 24 & Monday May 25
Three Major League Soccer fixtures light up the Sunday and Monday slate, and the odds markets are serving up some genuinely interesting angles. From Columbus to Miami to Los Angeles, we've combed through the live lines to build two strong parlay combinations - plus one value flag you shouldn't ignore.
Match Breakdown & Key Angles
Columbus Crew SC vs Atlanta United FC - Sunday 22:00 UTC
Columbus open as heavy home favourites at -189 (theScore Bet), and Atlanta United are being offered at a massive +500 (Bally Bet) on the road. Given that short home price, the implied probability of a Columbus win is around 65%, which feels right for a home side at a tough venue. What stands out here is the totals market. Over 3.5 goals is priced at +135 via BetRivers - that's a price that implies roughly 43% probability for a high-scoring game. With BTTS YES at -141 (theScore Bet), the market clearly expects both teams to get on the scoresheet. A lower-line BTTS YES combined with a Columbus win is a tidy angle, but we prefer playing BTTS YES here in a parlay context rather than banking on the home side alone.
Inter Miami CF vs Philadelphia Union - Monday 00:00 UTC
Inter Miami are enormous favourites at -233 (theScore Bet), and Philadelphia Union are being offered at a monstrous +575 (Bally Bet) - genuinely one of the biggest away prices you'll see in a domestic league game. The total line is set at 3.5, with the over priced at -118 (Bally Bet) and the under at -110 (Bally Bet) - essentially a coin flip either way on that line. BTTS YES is juiced hard at -196 (DraftKings), meaning the market expects goals at both ends. With Miami's home attack expected to be active, the over 3.5 at -118 represents reasonable value in the context of a parlay. The draw is priced at +450 (Fanatics), which we can safely fade here.
Los Angeles FC vs Seattle Sounders FC - Monday 02:15 UTC
This is the most open game on the slate. LAFC are marginal home favourites at -105 (Fanatics), with Seattle Sounders priced at +280 (Fanatics) and the draw also at +280 (Fanatics). That near-even spread on the 1X2 signals genuine uncertainty. The under 2.5 goals at +123 (Bally Bet) is a standout number - implying just 45% probability for fewer than 3 goals in what looks like a tight, competitive contest. That's generous. BTTS YES is juiced to -159 (FanDuel), which tells you the market leans toward both teams scoring, but the under 2.5 at +123 is the value play if you believe this game stays close and at least one team blanks.
Value Flag
The Under 2.5 goals at +123 (Bally Bet) in LAFC vs Seattle Sounders stands out as a mispriced line. A near-pick'em game priced this tight on the 1X2 often produces cagey, low-scoring affairs - and +123 on under 2.5 in that context is well above fair value. This is the kind of leg that adds real juice to a parlay without feeling like a lottery ticket.
Recommended Parlays
Parlay 1 - The Goals Combo (+382 combined)
- Columbus Crew SC vs Atlanta United FC - BTTS YES - -141 (theScore Bet) - Columbus are favourites but Atlanta should find a way on the board, making BTTS a strong lean.
- Inter Miami CF vs Philadelphia Union - Over 3.5 Goals - -118 (Bally Bet) - Miami's home matches tend to produce open, attacking football and the market implies a high-scoring evening.
- LAFC vs Seattle Sounders FC - Under 2.5 Goals - +123 (Bally Bet) - Best value on the slate. A near-pick'em with tight lines screams low-scoring grind.
Combined odds: +382 - Three legs, all logic-driven, with the LAFC under doing the heavy lifting on the price.
Parlay 2 - The Home Favourite Double (+156 combined)
- Columbus Crew SC - 1X2 Home Win - -189 (theScore Bet) - Short price, but Columbus at home is a bankable leg when paired with something spicy.
- LAFC vs Seattle Sounders FC - LAFC Home Win - -105 (Fanatics) - Near-even on a home side that should have the edge at Banc of California Stadium. Excellent value at essentially pick'em odds.
Combined odds: +156 - A two-leg safety net anchored by two home sides. The -105 on LAFC is exceptional value for a team playing at home and represents one of the best prices on the board this weekend.
Final Thoughts
The LAFC moneyline at -105 is the single best individual price on this slate - home teams rarely trade this close to even money without serious injury concerns or form issues flagged by the market. The Inter Miami over 3.5 at -118 is also a near-fair-value play that makes sense as a parlay anchor. Build around these two legs and you're in good shape for Sunday and Monday night Major League Soccer action.
