Chicharito Hernández, Carlos Vela or Rodolfo Pizarro: Which team's the favorite in the MLS?

The MLS regular season will begin on April 17, which is why 27 franchises have already started training to put their players in optimal condition. With Columbus Crew as the defending champion, everyone will try to dethrone him. And according to a report by BetMGM, Los Angeles FC, a team where Carlos Vela's one of the main figures, is the main candidate to win the MLS title, above clubs like Seattle Sounders or Crew, current champions. 

According to the estimate of the official MLS partner, the team headed by Carlos Vela's the one with the highest probability of lifting the MLS Cup in 2021, since the odds favor it with a +500, after being close during the 2019 season and having qualified for the playoffs last season.

After LAFC, Seattle Sounders appears as one of the main contenders for the title, since the odds pay +800 in case Brian Schmetzer's team lifts the MLS Cup this year, in which the Columbus Crew will seek to repeat the title and received a + 900 in case Lucas Zelarayán's painting repeats the feat it achieved in 2020, after beating Seattle precisely.

Contrary to the team with which they share a city, LA Galaxy -which has Javier Hernández as a franchise player- isn't among the favorites to win the MLS Cup in 2021, since the Los Angeles team was located in the 13th position of the prediction, one below Inter Miami, where Rodolfo Pizarro plays, who will face the second season of its history.
