Two of the top teams in the Western Conference collide Wednesday as reigning MLS Cup champion Los Angeles FC host the Seattle Sounders. LAFC (8-5-3) are even in points with first-place St. Louis City FC but trail in goal differential, while Seattle (8-4-6) are one point behind both clubs. Los Angeles edged Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Saturday, but the Sounders have been idle since battling Charlotte FC to a 3-3 draw on June 10. The sides played to a 0-0 draw at Seattle in their first meeting of the season.

Kickoff at BMO Stadium is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Los Angeles are the -118 favorites (risk $118 to win $100) in the latest LAFC vs. Seattle odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the Sounders are +320 underdogs. A draw is priced at +255 and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here.)

Before you bet on Seattle Sounders vs. LAFC or make any other MLS predictions, you must see what SportsLine's soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.

Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. 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.

He was SportsLine's top soccer expert in 2022 with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also was a profitable 24-19 on MLS picks!

Sutton knows LAFC halted a three-game winless streak during which they failed to score a goal with their triumph against Sporting Kansas City. Defender Denil Maldonado ended the team's drought in the 48th minute and forward Carlos Vela converted in the 90th minute for the victory. The 34-year-old Vela leads Los Angeles with five assists and ranks second with five goals - half of the amount recorded by winger Denis Bouanga, who is tied for second in MLS with 10 but may miss the match against Seattle after having played for the Gabon national team on Sunday. 

The expert also is aware that the Sounders are in the midst of a three-game winless streak and have posted just one victory over their last six matches. Seattle also were struggling offensively as they went two games without a tally before netting three in the draw with Charlotte. Leading scorer Jordan Morris (nine goals) did not score in that match, but forward Raul Ruidiaz recorded a brace to double his goal total on the season while midfielder Cristian Roldan also converted.

Sutton has taken an in-depth look at the LAFC vs. Seattle Sounders showdown and he has locked in a CONFIDENT best bet while offering a full breakdown of this MLS matchup! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
