MLS Cup news and notes
San Diego FC hasn't been scoring as much at home recently, but I still like them to beat the Portland Timbers.
Pairing the SDFC win with an Under on 4.5 goals gets you a comfortable +106.
SDFC matches have gone over 4.5 goals in only 17% of home matches, and none of their last 7 Snapdragon.

This Timbers kit is one of the worst in the world last few years.
Gruesome.

#InterMiami is posed to make a long playoff run, and I don't give Nashville much of a chance to win outright.
HOWEVER, pairing Nashville +1.5 with the over on 1.5 goals got me -109 odds. If you think Nashville can at least be competitive, get on board!

I said that I would take the home team in each #HellisReal derby matchup, and this may be my first time betting on FC Cincinnati this season.
Home/Away splits favor FCC, although their exact win percentage is just about 43%. That gives us a slight advantage over the implied probability on +140.

While Minnesota United is fading on offense and defense, Seattle Sounders are hitting their stride. I don't see a way Minnesota takes a win here, so I will take Seattle, the visitor, at a big +120.
Love to hear thoughts or dissenting opinions. Who thinks Minnesota is going to get the W this week?

What do you see here?
I want to make UFO jokes, but maybe it’s a drone or helicopter? It’s cloudy and foggy in that direction only.

I am interested to hear what are some negatives from this weekend's #MajorLeagueSoccer playoffs.
Was there anything specific you want to call out? A player? A decision?
Looking for content for our next podcast- drop your thoughts and maybe we will discuss.

Overall I had an up week in the second game of this MLS Playoff round.
Here are my results on 7 official plays from this week's show- going up 0.58 units.
Every little gain is a positive, and carving out a nice little playoff payout made the weekend even more fun.

I’ve seen precious little of the Portland Timbers this season, and that was a mistake.
They’re not great. But they have pieces to be dangerous.
Not the punching bag I was expecting.

Vancouver Whitecaps could be my lock of the week. Typical good team/bad team cap here, at least +100 (or HIGHER!) VCW could be a slam dunk.
