Atlanta United’s terrible 2020 season has left a bad taste in oddmakers mouths heading into the new MLS season. Even with an exciting new manager and a plethora of new talented signings, the Five Stripes are nowhere near the top favorites to take home the 2021 MLS Cup, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Their recently released odds for winning the league’s top prize have LAFC (+375), Columbus Crew (+450), and Seattle Sounders (+450) as the top three favorites. Meanwhile, Atlanta United (+2200) come in all the way down at 13th behind clubs like Orlando City (+1100), New England Revolution (+1400), and even FC Dallas (+1800).
