He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups, and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Now, Sutton has analyzed the full MLS schedule for Wednesday, May 29, and locked in his exact score projections and MLS best bets. 

One piece of the MLS score projections we can reveal: Sutton is predicting Messi leads Inter Miami (-220) to a comfortable 3-1 victory at home against Atlanta United. Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets were all rested on Saturday, but the Herons still walked away with a 2-1 win on the road against Vancouver. Miami's dynamic trio will be well rested ahead of this clash, which doesn't bode well for an Atlanta side that has scored just one goal in their last four matches across all competitions. 

Messi has 10 goals and 12 assists this season and Suarez has found the back of the net 11 times in 2024. Inter Miami have scored 12 goals in their last four matches at home, while Atlanta United are winless in their last nine matches in MLS play. 

Sutton has locked in his exact score projections for every MLS match on Wednesday, as well as his three most confident best bets. They include an underdog winning outright and a high-scoring slugfest between two of the league's top teams. You ABSOLUTELY need to see the MLS score projections before locking in any MLS picks of your own.
