Hola! Cómo estas? Online betting sites such as Bovada are among the gold standard of excellent soccer Vegas online betting sites for the opening half of Liga MX (Apertura). Here at VegasBetting, we look at a couple of Tuesday night matchups from Mexico. Now the trends are establishing themselves as the second half of the opening portion continues. Below we have Liga MX Tuesday Picks and, of course, our table.
Liga MX Games 8/23/22 | ![]() | ![]() |
---|---|---|
Guadalajara | +185 | +182 |
Monterrey | +170 | +175 |
Draw | +195 | +200 |
Queretaro | +330 | +340 |
Club America | -120 | -130 |
Draw | +245 | +255 |
The first matchup on Tuesday night comes from Monterrey as the top-league team battles Chivas Guadalajara. It looks like an easy choice for Liga MX Tuesday Picks, but this presents a real draw possibility. That is the dilemma here. Look at the math, and it is almost cringe-worthy. Even most books are a little apprehensive about being honest. Now, one question is, how is that so? One team has six wins, and the other has just one.
Now, we are ten matches into the “Apertura” or opening portion of the Liga MX. Yes, Liga MX crowns two champions. The clear thing is that Monterrey will be playing a team that does not care whether they are at home or on the road. Guadalajara relies on mind-numbing defense and timely goaltending. Their games are often low-event contests with few goals scored (1.6 combined per match).
LAS CHIVAS POR FIN GANARON Y LO HICIERON GOLEANDO AL NECAXA.

So, their last match naturally saw Chivas break out and score four times against Necaxa. One has to love how that works for bettors sometimes. However, Monterrey is a considerable step upward, and Necaxa is falling back in the standings (now 8th), losing four of their last six games. Also, as we mentioned, draws are quite common. Even Monterrey has three but Chivas Guadalajara has six. The league leaders have seven draws, by the way.
Yes, Liga MX Tuesday Picks examines our first game and asks. Could Monterrey manage to win outright and beat the even spread?
Monterrey is also tough to defeat when it all boils down to the top Mexican league. Honestly, they are like the Atlanta Braves of Liga MX. They are a talented squad that can fill any holes, whether expected or unexpected. Yes, the one thing they have that few other league teams have is this. They can score goals. Monterrey averages two goals a match while only giving up one. That +10 margin is second in Liga MX.
Some are concerned a bit by the form Monterrey has shown of late, and yes, that has been noticed. Sure, the team has won twice, but they have three draws (two consecutive). For a squad that had one draw in their first five matches, that puts a bit of fear in the hearts of a wagerer. Hey, the risk is always involved, and in these leagues, red cards are more common. Take a look at some box scores, and those red flags seem everywhere.

Expect Monterrey to come out a bit more angry on Tuesday night. After the draw against Toluca, it was believed that the team would at least score over the weekend. That did not happen as they played to a 0-0 draw with Tigers that felt more like mud warfare than anything else. The bad blood that prevails in the top Mexican league is always intense. Passions run hot, and so does soccer. Tigres also had yielded just six goals.
Monterrey plays better with some urgency. That had to sting when they drew the last two weeks despite creating twice the scoring chances. Monterrey is one of our Liga MX Tuesday Picks, as they should manage to snag win number seven on the season.
2022-23 Liga MX Tuesday Picks makes one think on their toes. So, Club America has some title hopes, but those have lengthened a bit only because other teams have played more often lately. That said, Club America leads Liga MX in goal differential at +11. Also, they average two goals per contest and can put up 3-4 markers from time to time. They also come in muy caliente winners of four straight matches.

Now, there is still a good deal of truth here. Club America has turned the switch lately, including a whopping 15 goals in those victories (17 in the last five games). An underestimated skill they have is their defense. Club America has allowed a goal a game and beat LAFC recently in a friendly with a clean sheet to boot. That is not easy to do against one of the better MLS teams out there.
For the 2022-23 Liga MX Tuesday Picks, the -120 number has to be a bit dicey for Club America but it is an easy bet. They have enough offense to defeat a team like Queretaro. Queretaro just notched their first win of the season after ten tries (five losses, four draws). They allow 17 goals and 2-3 goals against a better offense is not out of the question here. So, if one wants to hedge a bit, take the 0.5 goal spread on Tuesday at a slightly better -118.
What about some other Liga MX Tuesday Picks? There are some extra wagers to consider.
Once more, the Mexican league has the propensity to draw. With the chances of draws and how frequent they are, did anyone see that +200 number in Monterrey?
The contention for Liga MX bets is to take the Monterrey draw. The sporadic offense can also lend to the Under (-118) too.
A parting shot, Tennis Vegas betting odds are getting good leading up to the US Open. Take a look to wager.
