All odds made Mar. 11
Pick 1: Philadelphia Union vs San Jose Earthquakes
The Union play host to the Earthquakes Saturday night at 7:30 pm EST. It’s the residence opener for the Union who were shut out 2-0 on the road to Dallas in Week 1, but played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in LA on Sunday night. Against LAFC, Philly took the head three times, but each time LAFC fought back. The recreation made the early guide for” Game of the Year” and while this one may not match what we verified on Sunday, it should still furnish entertainment.
San Jose will be disappointed to enter Week 3 with simply a single level after opening with two dwelling tournaments. In Week 1 they depicted 2-2 with Toronto, more had falling behind 2-0 and simply sucked statu in the final times of video games. Last week they turned in an embarrassing operation which read them lose 5-2 to Minnesota.
While the season is young, the loss has continued a worrying vogue for Earthquakes’ supports. Travelling back into last-place season they’ve now failed to win eight joins, losing seven. They’ve also admitted multiples destinations in six of those eight sports. However, they’ve also valued in six as well.
Union competitions were a virtual fasten to have at least two goals last year at 33 -1. Over 2.5 aims smacked in 20/34 and BTTS cashed in 21/34.
For San Jose, two purposes were scored in 29/34, Over 2.5 cashed in 26/34 and BTTS in 22/34 in 2019. Basically, their sports have been goal fests. Let’s take a sample size of their past 20 in MLS. Of those, 13 have received both teams score, while 14 have gone Over 2.5 goals.
Time to analyze.
Time to improve.

— San Jose Earthquakes (@ SJEarthquakes) March 8, 2020
These teams encountered formerly last-place season in September in San Jose which resulted in a 2-1 Union win. The Earthquakes were without all of Cristian Espinoza, Chris Wondolowski and principal coach-and-four Matias Almeyda.
Recent form has understood Philly go 2-0-3( WLD) vs San Jose, with scorelines of 2-1, 1-1, 2-2, 1-1, and 2-1. I expect that trend to continue and for the Union to pull out the dwelling win.
Pick( s ): Philadelphia prevail( -1 35 ), Philadelphia over 1.5 points( -1 70 ), both teams to tally and over 2.5 aims( -1 15)
Pick 2: Minnesota United vs New York Red Bulls
Last week I strongly considered a longshot bet on Minnesota United along the road to San Jose as nearly 3-1 losers. Their 3-1 road win over Portland in Week 1, move forward with a shaky come-from-behind draw for San Jose at home to Toronto made the Loons ogle pulling. Winning on the road is tough though and not wanting to be a prisoner of the moment reacting to Week 1 only, I overtook. This week I won’t.
The Loons have now won 3-1 and 5-2 on the road this year. On Sunday, March 15, they close out the weekend schedule as -1 10 favourites at home to the New York Red Bulls.
Minnesota were affecting in Week 1, playing a strong counter-attacking style in their win over Portland. Last week they had the game triumphed by halftime at 4-1 in San Jose. For the second week in a row they didn’t support much possession, but it didn’t matter as they composed five times on ten kills on target. They currently lead the league in objectives with eight and each of Kevin Molino, Luis Amarilla and Ike Opara have two points each. In their residence opener, the Loons will be looking to carry on from last year’s success where they turned Allianz Field into a fortress, losing just once.
The Red Bulls didn’t contribute much to their roster this offseason but have built it through the opening two weeks undefeated. However, a closer watch may tell a slightly different story. Week 1 interpreted them defeat last year’s foot feature FC Cincinnati. But while New York looked well in control for the first half at 2-0, FCC got themselves into the match in the second half. They still lost 3-2, but overall held more possession and only had one fewer photograph on target than New York.
— New York Red Bulls (@ NewYorkRedBulls) March 9, 2020
Last week the Red Bulls traveled to Salt Lake where they composed early( 13′ hour) and held onto that pas all the way til stoppage time when Damir Kreilach finally depicted RSL level in the 91 st hour. I say ” held onto” the conduct, because outside of that early purpose, New York offered little else offensively. The destination was one of exclusively two kills on target for them in the parallel. RSL held the advantage in strives( 21 -4 ), on target( 5-2 ), wealth( 63.3%) and most notably in xG at 3.96 to 0.18. Some better finishing by RSL could’ve seen things get ugly for the Red Bulls on Saturday.
With the room Minnesota has been playing so far, they’re likely to be less wasteful with their chances. While the Red Bulls won the first two fulfills with Minnesota when the Loons were historically bad, last year Minnesota were 2-1 champions at Red Bull Stadium. Look for the all-time head-to-head series to be even by the end of the weekend.
Pick: Minnesota prevail( -1 10)

Pick 3: Toronto FC Win& Seattle to Score( 2-Game Parlay)
For my money, this looks like a quite straight-forward parlay for this weekend. It won’t return a huge payout, but at -1 28 stranges you’re still getting nearly an 80 -percent return on investment.
Toronto are undefeated at 1-0-1 this season and were minutes away from being 2-0-0. They “ve been given” a 2-0 pas in San Jose in Week 1, capped by a game-tying free kick in stoppage time. Then last week, they were 1-0 winners at BMO Field over fellow MLS Cup competitors NYCFC. New York finished first in the East last season and frankly stated they were looking for revenge over TFC for last year’s playoff loss. In the end, it didn’t matter as New York made simply three kills on target.
Expansion line-up Nashville SC will face a tall order to leave BMO Field with qualities on Saturday at 4:00 pm EST. Nashville wasn’t dealt an easy start in MLS, hosting Atlanta United in Week 1 and traveling to Portland last weekend. They did manage to score their first point vs Atlanta in a 2-1 losing exertion but were shut out 1-0 in Portland.

Despite the loss, Nashville more than deemed their own, maintaining more hold and finishing with more strives( 14 -3) and shoots on target( 4-2) than Portland. They likewise attempted 34 cross compared to the Timbers 11. That’s not to say those were all huge scoring opportunities, but it does illustrate their ability to compete. The difference in the game came from a moment of talent from Diego Valeri scoring a volley early in the 12′ minute.
The Timbers have been very inconsistent of late and have striven at home but their edge up offensive aptitude proved to be the difference. Toronto have been very consistent and too boasts a stable of attacking endowments. They has only just been one loss in their past 16 MLS coincides and that came in MLS Cup. Anything little than three points for TFC will be a shock result.

— Seattle Sounders FC (@ SoundersFC) March 9, 2020
When it comes to Houston vs Seattle at 8: 30 pm EST Saturday, it’s hard not to consider some sort of play on the Sounders. At +190, Seattle could even be considered a great value play on the moneyline. They glanced a little shaky Week 1 but still persisted at home 2-1 over Chicago with two second-half Jordan Morris purposes. Last week they again left it late but remained undefeated with a 1-1 show against Columbus. Though that one goal did exclusively come through a Raul Ruidiaz 79′ minute PK.
The Dynamo payed a top Week 1 vs LA Galaxy( 1-1) but didn’t look overly superb. Then last week had their doorways blown off in a 4-0 street to Sporting Kansas City in a game that was 2-0 only 26′ hours in.
Houston are generally strong at home( 10 -3- 4 last year ), but Seattle acquired each meeting 1-0 last-place season. The Sounders have also prevailed each of the past seven head-to-meetings. Gambling them to simply score once in this game looks like a no-brainer.
Pick: TFC earn& Seattle to orchestrate( -1 28)
