Two Major League Soccer fixtures on Sunday night offer sharp parlay value. Here are our best combinations with live odds.
Major League Soccer Sunday Night Parlay Picks - August 23-24
A compact two-game Major League Soccer slate lands this Sunday night, and both fixtures are loaded with betting angles worth attacking. New England Revolution host New York City FC at 21:30 UTC, followed immediately by Atlanta United FC taking on Sporting Kansas City at midnight UTC. Let's break down the best parlay combinations across both games.
Game 1: New England Revolution vs New York City FC
The market is telling an interesting story here. The Revolution open as home favorites at +135 (Fanatics), which is a modest edge, while NYCFC are priced as slight away underdogs at +190 (theScore Bet). The draw sits at +260 (DraftKings), making it a fairly wide-open contest on paper.
The most compelling signal in this game is the goals market. Bally Bet has the Under 2.5 at +112 - that is plus-money for an under, which immediately catches the eye as a potential value play. The Over 2.5 is juiced to -147, meaning the market heavily expects goals, yet Bally Bet is still offering a positive return on the under. That kind of inefficiency is worth noting. Meanwhile, BTTS Yes is priced at -175 (DraftKings), implying roughly 64% probability that both teams find the net - a significant lean toward a scoring game.
Given the market lean toward goals and BTTS, we favor the Over 2.5 approach - but note the price on the under as a contrarian value flag if you want to fade the crowd.
Game 2: Atlanta United FC vs Sporting Kansas City
Atlanta United are firm home favorites here at -145 (BetMGM), while Sporting Kansas City arrive as significant underdogs at +360 (FanDuel) - that is the standout price on the board this Sunday night. The draw is available at +330 (Fanatics), confirming SKC are not expected to compete closely on the road.
The total line sits at 3.5 goals, with the Over at +128 (Bally Bet) and the Under at -161 (BetMGM). A plus-money Over 3.5 in a game where Atlanta are heavy favorites at home is genuinely interesting - home sides pressing for goals in comfortable positions can inflate totals. BTTS Yes is -179 (theScore Bet), again suggesting the market expects a live, two-sided affair despite the talent gap.
Atlanta United at -145 is a strong favorite price worth anchoring a parlay, and the Over 3.5 at +128 is the value leg of the night in this fixture.
Value Flag
Sporting Kansas City +360 (FanDuel) as a moneyline underdog is the single biggest number on the board this Sunday. That implies roughly 22% win probability - if you believe SKC are even a 28-30% proposition, that is a +EV play in isolation. It is too risky to anchor a parlay around, but singles bettors or those building a teaser-style value pick should note it.
Parlay 1 - The Goals Parlay (+328 combined, FanDuel/Bally Bet)
- Atlanta United FC to win - -145 (BetMGM)
- Over 3.5 goals - Atlanta United FC vs Sporting Kansas City - +128 (Bally Bet)
- BTTS Yes - New England Revolution vs New York City FC - -175 (DraftKings)
Atlanta at home as favorites, a plus-money over in that same game, and BTTS yes in the New England clash where both teams are expected to score. This is a goals-heavy parlay riding market consensus in both fixtures. Combined odds come in around +328.
Parlay 2 - The Value Two-Legger (+194 combined, BetMGM/Bally Bet)
- Atlanta United FC to win - -145 (BetMGM)
- Over 2.5 goals - New England Revolution vs New York City FC - -147 (Bally Bet)
A tighter two-leg parlay for the more conservative bettor. Atlanta at home should handle Sporting KC, and the New England game has BTTS Yes at -175 implying plenty of goal action - backing Over 2.5 in that contest fits the market narrative. Combined odds land around +194, a solid payout for a two-team ticket with reasonable logic behind each leg.
Parlay 3 - The Plus-Money Special (+541 combined, FanDuel/Bally Bet/DraftKings)
- NYCFC to win - +190 (theScore Bet)
- Over 3.5 goals - Atlanta United FC vs Sporting Kansas City - +128 (Bally Bet)
- BTTS Yes - New England Revolution vs New York City FC - -175 (DraftKings)
The longshot combination for those chasing a bigger payout. NYCFC as away underdogs at +190 is the kicker here - if they nick a win at New England, this ticket pays out around +541. The Over 3.5 in Atlanta and BTTS Yes in New England are both market-supported legs. Stake accordingly - this is a high-risk, high-reward combination.
