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.

#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?

San Diego FC vs Portland Timbers
SDFC should get the win at home, but the draw is a huge possibility according to the metrics.
Remember- the bets are for 90 + stoppage and doesn't count the shootout.

Inter Miami vs Nashville SC
Nashville has been low scoring but low conceding lately on the road. This does not play well against Inter Miami. Even without Suarez, Miami are heavy favorites.

Hell is Real Derby should be close. I'd favor the home team in each leg, and so far I'd be right.

Minnesota forgot how to score midseason and has no home advantage this season.
Meanwhile, Sounders overproducing away from home on offense and defensive form.

Charlotte FC hosting NYCFC
NYCFC stellar away defense keeps this one low scoring. That favors NYCFC to sneak a win on the road.

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

Was there anything specific you want to call out? A player? A decision?

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.

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.

Based on home/away splits and recent form, Minnesota United came out ahead of the Sounders in the model. However, I am not confident in the result on the field.
I WILL take the U2.5 play. Lower scores still slightly favor the visitor, so I think this bet holds up.

LAFC Is one of the biggest away favorites of the week. So much so, that we needed to pair it with a small over on 1.5 goals to get plus money at +117.
Do we really see this many teams close it out in the second leg?

San Diego FC visits the Portland Timbers this weekend, and they come out as favorites in my sports model. Bring under 40%, though, I favor the DNB protection.

My model is leaning HEAVILY in favor of Nashville SC, but can we ever be confident betting against Inter Miami? Probably not.
Instead, I'll bet the over on 3.5 goals (which really DOES favor home teams), and let the players decide the rest.

I think the Philadelphia Union are going to make a deep playoff run this postseason, so I like them on the Draw No Bet option (for insurance) against the unpredictable Chicago Fire.
