The final round of MLS matches before the break for the Gold Cup is a midweek set of fixtures which begin on Tuesday night or the early hours of Wednesday morning for those of us in the UK.
Among the sides in action on Tuesday are LA Galaxy, the champions Seattle Sounders and the two new franchises Atlanta United and Minnesota United.
Tuesday fixtures are as follows: (UK kick off time in brackets)
Atlanta United vs San Jose Earthquakes (00.00)

FC Dallas vs DC United (01.30)
Colorado Rapids vs Seattle Sounders (02.00)

Big Matches
The match of the night comes from Ohio as the Colorado Rapids take on the champions Seattle Sounders in a match both sides need to win to get back in the mix for a top six spot. FC Dallas will look to see off DC United in a match most believe will be a home win.
Best of the Rest
Both new franchises are in action on Tuesday night too. Atlanta United take on the San Jose Earthquakes while Minnesota United face Columbus Crew in cross Conference clashes. The other match sees Los Angeles Galaxy taking on lowly Real Salt Lake.
Betting
I’m going to go with the obvious pick here which is with FC Dallas on the Asian handicap. DC United have a wretched record in Texas and they are performing badly on the road too with defeats in their last four away matches in MLS without scoring a goal in any of them.
FC Dallas had their wobble earlier in the season but they look to be over that now and their win over Toronto FC sent shockwaves through the league. It means they can go top of the West should they win this match and I expect them to do that. So often Bill Hamid is the difference between DC winning and losing and he’s on international duty now so I’m with Dallas in this one.
Tips
