MLS 2021 Golden Boot odds & predictions: which player will lead the regular season scoring charts

Trying to pick the Golden Boot winner in the MLS betting 2021 season is always a tough proposition.

These prop bets usually offer good odds before the campaign starts, because you have no idea of knowing which players are going to start off on fire, or maybe get hurt in the first month or two and have to miss time.

The thing with these markets now is, they stay open during the season. Now, if someone scores eight goals in the first three matches, his odds are going to drop like a stone. But you can probably still get that player at very good odds and make a lot of money.

You will probably want to find a player that plays for a good team, or at least a decent one, as teams can usually shut down a player on a bad team, or at least limit his production. You also want to find someone that is either a younger player, or is relatively new to the MLS (as will be explained below).

So here is a list of the top players for the 2021 MLS Golden Boot, with betting odds.

MLS 2021 Golden Boot Prediction

There are some big names on that list, and some that have played for the biggest clubs in Europe. But here is a wacky stat for you: the last eight MLS Golden Boot winners have had three years of experience in the league or less. Rossi won the boot last year, but two names down the list of odds (both at +2800) are Robert Beric, who finished second to Rossi last season, and Alan Pulido, who dominated in Mexico before coming to America.
