Current MLS Standings
Near the top of the tables, there was little change except for an exciting development in the West. However, the middle of the tables saw some shake-ups that could lead to better things for those MLS teams.
After losing to Nashville SC, St. Louis CITY SC stays at the top of the West, with LAFC trailing behind with two games in hand. The other two Cascadia teams fall just above the playoff line, but the Whitecaps can jump everyone with a win on Wednesday.
Despite not playing last week, FC Cincinnati still holds a significant lead in the West and the Supports Shield. Nashville SC joins the double-digit wins club as they tore apart a tired St. Louis CITY side. The race for the top two in the East is heating up!

Key MLS Week 20 Matches
We have a lighter week for MLS Week 20, but that does not mean there are no exciting games to watch! There are two that every bettor should be watching this week. Those two games are LAFC vs Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls vs Charlotte FC.
New York Red Bulls vs Charlotte FC
Date & Time:
In a matchup between the tenth and eleventh-placed teams in the East, Charlotte FC heads to Jersey to play against the Red Bulls. Both teams have played poorly this season, but Charlotte has looked better since the start. The odds show that Charlotte has the “worse” odds at +395 to win, but they should get it over the line, which +395 is an absolute steal.
LAFC vs Seattle Sounders
Date & Time:
The Clash of the Titans. LAFC hosts the Seattle Sounders in a top-three matchup that should be the highlight of the MLS Week 20. LAFC is coming off a tough win against SKC and two losses to Houston. The Sounders could be better, but they have performed well away from home. The last time these two played was a 0-0 draw. Our bet is to go with the draw at +265 for any payout.
