The New York Red Bulls look like another MLS team that just can't get ahead. The Red Bulls are playing sharp football, tackling well, and avoiding some of the discipline woes that plague Eastern Conference clubs this season. But going into this Saturday's game with host Austin FC at 8:30 p.m. EST, the Big Apple's road trippers are still languishing in only sixth place in their conference table.
Look again, though, and Saturday's round is promising for the Red Bulls because of the MLS points table, not in spite of it. The New York Red Bulls can potentially jump three Eastern squads with a win in Texas.
The biggest hurdle to a better standing is not a points deficit, but the fact that Austin is considered such a tough out at home. Los Verdes of Austin Football Club are (+115) betting favorites over the Red Bulls.

New York Red Bulls vs Austin FC Predictions and Picks
If Austin has a secret sauce on home grounds, it hasn't added up to a lot of tasty spare ribs in late spring. Los Verdes fell to visiting Minnesota 0-3 on May 3, followed by one tournament win and three league draws at Q2 Stadium. The club's leading scorer, Brandon Vázquez, has four goals in 17 MLS bouts.
New York has no footballers on national team duty. If manager Sandro Schwarz isn't restricting his lineup for some other reason, could betting odds that give Austin such a shorter price be tied into a historical record that doesn't matter so much to Saturday's outcome? Austin FC hasn't fallen to an Eastern Conference team at home since 2022. It's impressive, but not the biggest sample size ever.
As the reliable Joel Lefevre from Sports Mole puts it, "The Red Bulls seem to have finally got their act together." Take advantage of wayward sportsbook lines and pick New York to win or cover the spread.
