Austin travels to Vancouver in one of the late games in great form. No team since June 21 has scored more goals (11) or recorded more points (10) than the Verde and Black. The Verde are big underdogs (+350) and the Over 2.5 is juiced to -188 in the MLS odds.

MLS Picks Today
There were lots fo goals on the weekend with 43 goals scored across 14 games and six players scoring their first-ever MLS goals. We won t see the same thing with only nine games on Wednesday, but we re still hoping for some goal-heavy games in our MLS picks today.
New England Revolution vs Atlanta United Prediction
We ll start off in the East with third place New England (37 points) hosting fifth place Atlanta (35 points). The teams played in Atlanta earlier this season in a 3-3 draw.
It s Atlanta in the better form right now having won back-to-back games heading into this one. They won 1-0 on the road in Montreal on Saturday and 2-0 at home to Philadelphia in their match prior.
New England is winless in two, losing 2-1 in New York to Red Bulls on Saturday and drawing 2-2 in Cincinnati before that. Both of those games came on the road though. Saturday s loss came with ten men after Latif Blessing was shown red in the 60 minute and also withouth Carles Gil who was serving a suspenion. The Revs still had a chance to draw level with a goal in stoppage time that was called back by VAR.
They ll be out Blessing on Wednesday, but get back Gil. And get back on their home pitch where they re still undefeated at 7-3-0 (23 GF/9 GA). Gillette Stadium has been a fortress for Bruce Arena s side as they re undefeated in 11 and have just two defeats in their past 24 home games.
Atlanta may have won on the road in their last game, but that s only their second road win this season, first in nine road games and just their third road win in their past 26 away from home. They could again be without leading scorer Giorgios Giakoumakis through injury.
New England had been undefeated in seven prior to Saturday s loss and we ll back them to get back into the win column Wednesday in our New England vs Atlanta picks.

Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United Prediction
Eighth in the west Houston (28 points) hosts 11th in the conference Minnesota (24 points) at 8:30 pm EST Wednesday.
The Dynamo are one of the league s top home teams at 7-2-1 and are the top home team in the West with 19 goals scored to just five conceded. They failed to win at home on Saturday though, drawing 2-2 with SKC and only barely rescued a point through a 98 minute stoppage-time equalizer from Ivan Franco. They created plenty of opportunites with a 2.74 xG along with 21 shots and eight on target. That extends Houston s undefeated streak to four games at home, however, overall they re winless in three.
How did your team do on Matchday 24? 📈
Major League Soccer (@MLS)
Minnesota got routed on their own pitch on Saturday, losing 4-1 to Austin FC, giving them just one win in their past seven games. But there were some bright spots. Finnish star Teemu Pukki made his debut, albeit once the game got out of reach at 3-0. But he had moments and should link up with Emanuel Reynoso for many goals down the stretch run of the season. The Loons still created a 2.39 xG, 23 shot attempts and seven shots on target. But they also gave up a 3.94 xG and seven shots on target.
This will be the third meeting this season between the teams. Minnesota won 1-0 at home in the league and Houston won 4-0 at home in the US Open Cup, both coming in May. However, in league play, the Loons have won six straight over the Dynamo.
Minnesota has been solid on their travels at 4-1-6 but only one of those wins have come in their past eight on the road. In those eight games they ve allowed multiple goals in six of those eight.
That trend should continue going into a tough place to play like Shell Energy Stadium. But Minnesota have more offensive weapons this time for this time matchup that should open this game up.
