New England vs KC Wizards - Wizards with dominating 4-3-1 record against New England in last 2 years but they are currently winless in 8 so will be tough to make it 9 of 10 with points. New England will begin rising in the table as they are the 2nd most talented team in the Eastern Conference but have played the most away games in the league. KC are just 3-0-7 away with 2 of their 3 wins against awful Columbus and only 7 goals scored. NE played a tough match last night on the far West Coast and could have a bit of jet lag for the match but otherwise they are big favorites IMO. KC really struggling to score with 4 straight road games without a goal with they do have decent offense with EJ, Arnaud, Sealy and Wolff. These teams played to a 1-1 draw on July 29 in a match far more offensive than the score. There were 30 shots taken and KC missed a bunch of early chances only to see NE score in stoppage. NE with Ralston, Twellman, Noonan, Dempsey, and Joseph finally all healthy at the same time which gives them the best, or 2nd best (to DC United) attack in this league. Although they played across country no need for fatigue since the All Star break was in between. Revolution 5/10 @2.07 (pinn, 2.05 10bet) and Revs/Wizards over 2.25 4/10 @1.96 (pinn/10bet)
Houston Dynamo vs LA Galaxy - odds moved a bit toward over goals so a small bet on the under, which is a more likely result. LA had their nearly 6 game shutout streak ended by Cbus last match but they've still gone under in 6 straight. Donovan was injured in the friendly vs Cruz Azul but will play tonight. Houston with 3 straight unders and 6 of last 8, and 10 of last 14. They are the highest scoring home team in the league though, but will miss All-Star game MVP, Dwayne deRosario tonight. DeRo is the main midfield weapon for Houston, 2nd on team in goals, shots, shots on goal, and assists and their only true creative midfielder plus their corner and free kick taker. While they still have talent up front with Moreno and Ching their offensive power is cut down without DeRo. These teams met a month ago in LA which ended 0-0 in a match that saw just 5 shots reach net. Match will be played in the very large Reliant stadium and not Houston's normal field on campus at the University so pretty unfamiliar surroundings for both teams. Houston/LA under 2.5 goals 3.5/10 @ 1.81 (5dimes/IBC, 1.75 oly)
