Charlotte FC is not getting enough credit for its 3-2 upset of the Columbus Crew. Either that, or the New York Red Bulls are getting too much credit for a pedestrian 2-0 victory over DC United in the same MLS round three days ago. Las Vegas has put such a one-sided line on the Red Bulls to win tonight's bout at Sports Illustrated Stadium at 7:30 p.m. EST, you'd think the Crown's weekend success was a fantasy.
Saturday's win might've felt like fiction, at least when the Crown's 24-year-old American striker Patrick Agyemang scored a brace to give Charlotte a 2-1 lead in the opening half. Attacking midfielder Pep Biel, whose four goals on the year are just one shy of Agyemang's total, bagged the winner 75 minutes in.
The Red Bulls have fallen flat in big moments this spring, such as the Hudson River Derby. What ails Charlotte so badly that even an inconsistent host makes the Crown into a three-to-one underdog?

Charlotte FC vs New York Red Bulls Predictions and Picks
Agyemang's feat scored the upstart a Player of the Matchday award for Round 15, while two assists from Crystal Palace veteran Wilfried Zaha reminded viewers that Charlotte's lineup can play some offense. "Dangerous … that's how we are supposed to be as a front three," Agyemang told Deadspin after.
New York is part of a group of East Coast teams that're making noise, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's next contract will be as long as his name in bells and whistles. The Red Bulls have won eight of their last 12 matches on home ground. But even the venue formerly known as Red Bull Arena won't feel like a warm, safe haven this midweek.
Steady, moderate rain is supposed to fall in New York tonight. That's a scenario for goals to be scored by players who aren't bogged down in a monsoon, kicking a hydroplaning soccer ball around on the attack. Expect a win for over-total-goals bets in the Big Apple.
