We have reached the midpoint of the week, and after last night's MLB All-Star Game, bettors have limited options. With most major sports amid their respective off-seasons, and the MLB on a brief break, sports games in general are limited in the United States, but that does not mean there's nothing. For today we have the MLS on tap alongside the WNBA. Although these kinds of games are not the norm for betting, there are still some fantastic opportunities to make a profit. Here are today's picks brought to you by BetOnline.ag. Click here to join. All new players get a 50% welcome bonus and up to $250 in free bets.

First Pick: LA Galaxy Moneyline

Rundown: The LA Galaxy will face Austin FC tomorrow at home, where they are on a three-game winning streak and have a strong historical record against Austin. Recent performance shows the Galaxy improving, with a 3-2-1 record in their past six games. Players like Marco Reus and Diego Fagúndez are contributing significantly to the offense. However, Austin FC previously defeated the Galaxy 1-0 this season and boasts the league's second-best defensive record. While this match should be very close, I expect the Galaxy to net the deciding goal and hold down the lead the rest of the way in a low-scoring affair.

Second Pick: New York Red Bulls Moneyline

Rundown: The Red Bulls look to grab a much-needed win at home tonight against New England. Although New York has struggled greatly during their last five games, they are ready to go on a tear and get back to playoff form. They have also historically performed well against Nashville SC at home, with a 1-0-2 record against them in New Jersey. Forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is in peak form, having scored 11 goals this season five of those coming in his last six matches. Nashville SC, on the other hand, will be missing three key players due to international duty, which could significantly impact their performance. The Red Bulls' aggressive pressing style, combined with the finishing ability of players like Emil Forsberg, could prove difficult for Nashville to contain, particularly with a weakened midfield. 

Third Pick: Las Vegas Aces Moneyline

Rundown: Despite the Las Vegas Aces being the favored team with a better record, their defensive struggles could make this a closer contest than expected. While A'ja Wilson's potential injury is a concern, the Aces are coming off a morale-boosting comeback win and will be looking to reach a .500 record. The Dallas Wings, though on a three-game losing streak, have shown flashes of strong play and will have the home-court advantage. However, their injury report lists several key players as questionable or out, potentially impacting their overall strength. Given the Aces' offensive firepower and the Wings' recent struggles, look for Las Vegas to secure a narrow victory, likely in a higher-scoring affair than their previous encounter.
