2024 MLS Cup Winner Outrights: Odds, Prediction, and Best Picks

The 29th edition of Major League Soccer is well underway, with the 2024 season ending on October 19. This season has provided several surprising outcomes to the spectators. However, as predicted by many, Inter Miami led the charge in the Supporters’ Shield table registering 74 points through 34 matches played, capturing the trophy for the first time in their history. 

Last year's MLS Cup holders, Columbus Crew, started their title defense off to a shaky start but qualified for the 2024 postseason. The Crew finished in second place in the East with 66 points. In the best-of-three series, the defending champs saw their campaign reach a halt, getting upended by the New York Red Bulls.

Finishing both as number one seeds in each conference, Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC both suffered massive upsets in their playoff tie, making this edition of the MLS Cup wide open for the four remaining sides. Oddly enough finishing first overall in the domestic campaign has had its drawbacks, since 2001, only four teams have been able to capture the Supporters' Shield and the league title in the same season.

Inter Miami captured the Supporters’ Shield for the first time in franchise history, finishing as the regular season champions as the top side in MLS. But Messi and co. Suffered a massive upset, losing to huge underdogs, Atlanta United. All season long Inter Miami were pegged as the favorites to claim the 2024 MLS Cup, but ultimately ended up falling short.

MLS Cup 2024 – Analysis

With Inter Miami’s elimination from the playoffs, the chase for the MLS cup opened up with each reamsimi contestant given new hope after the giants of MLS crumbled in the opening round. Now we have to go westward for now to see the new favorites to garner the 2024 MLS Cup. The books have pegged the LA Galaxy as the most likely side to claim the league title with the indicated odds they are listed with.

The LA Galaxy are looking for redemption this season, and a resurgence could be on the cards after the five-time MLS Cup winners are looking to add a 6th title in their cabinet. The Galaxy finished in 13th in the Western Conference last season after winning just eight out of 34 league games, turning things around quite quickly in 2024.

New York City based clubs have shown signs of improvement compared to last season, both duplicating their run in the playoffs knocking off Ohio state based clubs. Both teams from the City That Never Sleeps, were ranked as the lower seeds in the MLS playoffs. The Hudson River Derby playoff clash saw the New York Red Bulls claiming the city bragging rights with their victory over NYCFC.

MLS Cup 2024 – Prediction

Based on the current form and squad analysis, it is safe to say the Galaxy, is the strongest team remaining on paper left in the playoffs. They have the firepower to win the 2024 MLS Cup bagging 69 regular season goals.

Eliminating the high octane offense of LAFC in the second round, the Galaxy had a tough task facing the Seattle Sounders in the conference finals. The Galaxy mustered out a 1-0 win at home, sending the club to their first MLS Cup appearance in 10 years.

Playing with house money all playoffs long, the New York Red Bulls have advanced to the championship game for the first time since 2008. This is the Red Bulls second ever appearance in the finals, finishing as seventh seed in the east, they have sent shockwaves throughout the MLS universe as one of the most unlikely sides to reach the final.

My Pick - New York Red Bulls (+240) at bet365

The Red Bulls are in a disadvantage playing this title match on the road playing in a hostile environment at Dignity Health Sports Park. That said NYRB have what it takes to upend the hosts on Saturday, as New York during the regular season only lost on six occasions in 17 away trips. Rolling it to the MLS Cup, the Red Bulls have won three straight road matches in the playoffs. Factor in LA Galaxy star midfielder Ricard Puig will be out of action, his 29 goal contributions in the regular season and playoffs could affect his team's output this weekend. Though the Red Bulls are favorites and six of the last seven MLS Cups have been awarded to the home team, but there is no value taking the Galaxy at such a high price with miniscoul return on investment.
