Tuesday’s grey but Wednesday isn’t anymore thanks to Major League Soccer betting featuring the New England Revolution, the Seattle Sounders, and more.

The Revs lost 1-2 to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday to extend their road winless streak to seven games. Lee Nguyen scored his third penalty kick and sixth goal of the season to give New England an early lead. The midfielder’s six goals are tied for team-best and his five assists lead the team. Nguyen’s total goals and assists tally is third best in the league. Sadly, the rest of the team can’t cut the mustard.
NYCFC found itself trailing by three goals in a span of seven minutes against the Atlanta United on Sunday. New York’s vaunted attack was conspicuous by its absence. The Pigeons pulled within two in the 71st minute, but it was too little too late.
Orlando City SC vs. D.C. United soccer betting preview

Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Orlando City Stadium

Orlando City SC -½ (-137) 3 (-133) -135
D.C. United/Orlando City SC Draw +294
The Lions seem more and more like the The Cowardly Lion of Oz. OCSC have gone six games without a win, and fell 0-1 to Minnesota on Saturday. Orlando had seven shots on goal but most of them were inoffensive long-distance efforts. Kaka’s absence continues to affect the team.
The Black and Red (shout out to Stendhal) snapped a three-game skid with a 1-0 win over Vancouver on Saturday. Jose Guillermo Ortiz earned the penalty that resulted D.C.’s go-ahead goal, hitting the floor under pressure from Kendall Waston. Replays suggested Ortiz may have flopped, which drew the ire of the local fans. Ortiz has been previously fined for his, shall we say, histrionics.
Columbus Crew SC v Seattle Sounders FC soccer betting preview
Date: Wednesday, 31st May
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Mapfre Stadium
Sportsbook odds for fans who bet on soccer:
Seattle Sounders +½ (-107) 2½ (-136) +308
Columbus Crew -½ (-108) 2½ (+121) -106
Seattle Sounders/Columbus Crew Draw +271
The Sounds have won two straight games after going four in a row without a win. Cristian Roldan scored the game-winning goal four minutes into their Saturday match with Portland. Huh. That must’ve been an entertaining 86 minutes for the crowd. Seattle got their first three Cascadia Cup points.
The Crew was soundly defeated 0-5 by Toronto on Friday. Columbus lost the season series with Toronto and with it the Trillium Cup for the second year in a row. The Crew has lost two straight and has not been able to string together consecutive victories since late March.
