Best bets

Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (-120)

Panthers @ Oilers

The Oilers have seized momentum in this Stanley Cup Final after an incredible comeback in Game 4, rallying from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-4 in overtime and tie the series at 2-2.

Edmonton returns home with the series even, giving them a massive advantage with their notoriously energetic crowd behind them for this pivotal Game 5.

Calvin Pickard has been Edmonton's saving grace in net, coming up big in Game 4 and providing the stability they weren't getting from starter Stuart Skinner.

The Oilers' offensive firepower with McDavid and Draisaitl should continue to create problems for Florida's defense, especially with home ice giving them favorable matchups.

After dropping Games 2 and 3, Edmonton has rediscovered its offensive rhythm and carries all the confidence heading into what could be the decisive game of this best-of-three finish.

Best bets

Over 6.5 Total Goals (+100)

Panthers @ Oilers

This Stanley Cup Final has been dominated by offense rather than defense, with the Panthers scoring 18 goals and the Oilers netting 14 through the first four games.

Game 4 featured nine total goals, continuing the high-scoring trend we've seen throughout the series with neither team able to consistently shut down the other's attack.

Edmonton's offensive stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are creating quality scoring chances with their elite puck movement, while Evan Bouchard continues to provide offensive production from the blue line.

Florida's forwards, particularly Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe, have shown they can control possession in the offensive zone and find the back of the net consistently against Edmonton's defensive structure.

With the series intensity at its peak and both teams opening up their play rather than tightening defensively, we should see another high-scoring affair in this crucial Game 5.

Best bets

Connor McDavid Anytime Goal Scorer (+110)

Panthers @ Oilers

McDavid has been the driving force behind Edmonton's offense throughout this series, creating scoring chances both for himself and teammates with his elite speed and puck handling.

With the series now tied and momentum on Edmonton's side, expect McDavid to elevate his game even further in front of the home crowd for this pivotal Game 5.

The Panthers have struggled to contain Edmonton's top line when they're rolling, and McDavid will be looking to capitalize on the confidence boost from their comeback win in Game 4.

As team captain, McDavid historically steps up in the biggest moments, and there's no bigger stage than a tied Stanley Cup Final with home ice advantage.

While not explicitly mentioned in the articles, this bet follows logically from the experts' assessment that Edmonton's offensive stars will lead the way in what's expected to be another high-scoring game.

How we come up with MLS picks & MLS best bets

Every MLS pick on Sporting Post follows a proven, data-driven process built to spot smart bets and real value.

The system combines expert insights, live market analysis, and AI technology to highlight the strongest betting opportunities across today’s matches.

Expert-driven selection process

The process starts with insights from soccer analysts and experienced bettors who track Major League Soccer closely.

They evaluate key factors like team form, injuries, lineup news, tactical setups, and head-to-head history. This helps highlight games where a specific betting angle—like a moneyline, over/under, or both teams to score—makes the most sense.

Market analysis and spotting value

Next, the focus shifts to the betting market. By comparing sportsbook odds with internally modeled win probabilities, we flag pricing gaps and identify value plays.

This blend of expert analysis and real-time odds movement helps filter out bets that offer little edge.

AI-powered confidence ratings

To sort through the strongest picks, we use AI to crunch historical trends, advanced metrics, and betting signals.

Each bet is scored by confidence level, which helps separate high-upside opportunities from low-value noise.

Finalizing the best bets

From there, we finalize a shortlist of picks that balance short-term momentum with long-term performance data.

Each MLS Best Bet goes through a final review to ensure it aligns with both current trends and deeper statistical insights.

Sporting Post’s MLS Picks & MLS Best Bets are built for bettors who want clarity, confidence, and a competitive edge—whether it’s a regular-season clash or a marquee matchup.

Types of MLS Picks

Moneyline picks

These are straight-up predictions on which team will win. MLS moneylines are popular for their simplicity and can offer solid value, especially in tight matchups or underdog spots.

Over/under picks

Also known as totals, these picks focus on the combined number of goals scored in a match. For example, betting on Over 2.5 goals means the game must have at least three goals to win.

Both teams to score (BTTS)

This pick focuses on whether both teams will score at least once during the match. It’s often used in games featuring strong attacks and leaky defenses.

Draw picks

Draws are common in soccer, and MLS is no exception. These picks are useful when two evenly matched teams face off and no clear edge is found.

Double bhance

Double chance bets let you cover two outcomes—like a team to win or draw. It’s a lower-risk option with slightly reduced odds but better coverage.

Prop bets

Props include specific events like first goal scorer, total corners, or a player to receive a card. These bets require deeper insight but can offer great value in the right spot.

Parlays

Parlays combine multiple picks into one bet for higher potential payouts. We only recommend these when each leg has strong individual value.
