Inter Miami is a MLS Cup Final favorite

Inter Miami (+275) has been favored to win the franchise's first MLS Cup all season long. However, there's not a lot of value here considering their inconsistent play that has them sitting in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference. Last year, Lionel Messi's club was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Atlanta United FC after capturing the Supporters' Shield with a new all-time points record during the regular season.

Other top contenders

San Diego FC (+330) has stumbled down the stretch with just one win in its past four games. While Anders Dreyer's club is likely to relinquish the top seed in the West to Vancouver, they're still the first 60-point expansion team in MLS history.

Vancouver (+330) hasn't lost a MLS match in over two months, with three wins and three ties in their past six contests. The Whitecaps also wrapped up their fourth-consecutive Canadian Championship last week.

Strong finals bets

FC Cincinnati (+450) might be built for the postseason, if winning tight games is any indication. Of their 33 matches, 21 have ended within a one-score margin. And, after defeating the New York Red Bulls 1-0 in their last contest, Pat Noonan's club is 16-5 in those games.

Charlotte FC (+800) has 10 victories in their past 12 matches. A win over Philadelphia on Saturday would ensure a home playoff spot in the first round. That could be crucial with a 12-3-1 record in Bank of America Stadium.

Top Picks to Reach MLS Cup Final

Vancouver is in the driver's seat for the top seed in the Western Conference with a game in hand on San Diego FC. With the addition of German legend Thomas Muller and the return of team captain Ryan Gauld, the Whitecaps (+330) should reach the MLS Cup Final.

In the East, we like Philadelphia (+450). The Union already wrapped up their second Supporters' Shield this decade with 20 wins and 66 points this regular season. Home-field advantage throughout the playoffs should be a massive advantage given Philly finished with a 12-1-4 home record this year.
