MLS May 21-25

12-11-1 +$611

- DC imploded in the 2nd half in LA last week, leaking goals to a nearly reserve Chivas USA. TFC should have beaten Columbus based on their excellent 2H but a combo of bad luck and bad finishing did them in. DC's defense is in disarray and TFC should find the net a few times.

Toronto -1/4 goal 2u +115

Nice one.

Slim pickins this week...may only play the Th. match and that's it...we'll see.

gl on the mls week.

thx hm

- big play Saturday night. DC have won 15 of 21 games in the 2nd of b2b against the same opponent and they will make it 16/22 Saturday night. I expect TFC to rest several players for Tuesday's Concacaf CL qualifier plus they are in the midst of a 5 games in 14 day stretch. DC possessed the ball all night at Toronto but managed just 3 shots on goal and many wide/high. Look for them to hammer Toronto who have not played a road match since April 13.

DC United 8u +125

What do you think on tonights game?

 

[joeyfitzclick]

I like Houston + 120

I was thinking on taking houston too...ty joey!!

 

[rolltide]

What do you think on tonights game?

no interest from me but if I were to bet it would be houston or nothing. awful SJ offense is still without Peguero and Glinton plus much of the HOuston team played in SJ before they moved to Htown.

Ty rolltide...appreciate it!!!

I bet SJ +1/2. It's obvious Houston has better talent but it seems like SJ wants this one a little bit more.

Why do they allow so much pushing in MLS???

:WTF:

Even to the point of causing a change in possession. I thought I was watching the NBA there for a few moments.

 

[rolltide]

i would suggest never watching a SJ game. They have no talent so play like the NJ Devils...close marking, very physical, but with a lot of aggression. It makes their matches unwatchable. Their win over Colorado this year was the worst football match I have ever seen and my Euro friends caught the match as well and thought the MLS must be a clown league

when the Quakes best attacking option is M O'Brien, you know their offensively limited. Salinas is also a factor but the club is not gonna play "sexy football."

I thought Dynamo was ready to ride a streak into the top spot of Wstn Conf.

I only saw the 1H...which I thought SJ had the better of it....in that, Houston didn't really create many chances. What happened in the 2H, rolltide?

 

[rolltide]

not sure ... watched only portions of the match b/c of monterrey game and when santos equalized i went to bed. From the match reports SJ was stronger from start to finish but houston nearly equalized in stoppage but ching, as he usually does, headed wide.

Pretty much same as the 1st half except for the end. Only then did Houston do anything that resembled a scoring threat.

 

[rolltide]

looking a bit at NE and Chivas USA away wins but for now two more picks...

- LA matches average nearly 4.5 gpg and they get Carlos Ruiz back today. KC great set piece team against awful LA set piece defense means goals all over the place

LA/KC over 2.75 goals 3.25u -125

- These teams played a 2-1 match just 2 weeks ago and Dallas' defense has gotten a whole lot worse since then. RSL are allowing 2.5 gpg against in road matches so I see a 2-1 result again

Dallas/RSL over 2.5 goals 3U +115

 

[rolltide]

not an mls match so i do not stake or use for records but get on Ejido in Spain B tomorrow

Elche missing Pere Martí, Iago Iglesias, Víctor Gómis, Raúl Martín, Diego Trotta, Alfredo Caballero, Noel Williams, Víctor Sánchez, Alberto Ruiz y Samuel Llorca (info from http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/2a_division/previa/es/desarrollo/1127290.html ). They are midtable and nothing to play for plus won just once in last 8

Poli 4-1-0 last 5 at home and 4 pts from safety with 4 remaining

teams have traded 3 points in 02/03, 03/04, 04/05, 05/06, 06/07 seasons and Elche won home match earlier this year

odds dropping assuming another home win and 6 straight years of sharing points. Will probably be -200 this time tomorrow. I got -110

 

[hm2.0]

I can't aruge against any of those total plays. I amy play the LA/KC match...still looking at it.

gl, rolltide.
