MLS Playoffs Semis Game 2

[Wizardscharter]

From Intertops.com

Los Angeles 2.4 2.95 2.3 @Colorado
New England 3.2 3.05 1.95 @Columbus

LA smoked Colorado and you would think they should close out thier series in Denver. A couple of problems with the theory: Road teams have won a total of one game in the playoffs. A game at altitude is a different game. LA also plays a speed game dependent on service and quality touches. The field should be pretty well destroyed, leveling the proverbial playing field. I'll take COL to defend home turf. COL@2.3

CLB looked the better team on the weekend and is now at home. Need another reason to take them? OK, how about several solid defensive performances in a row for the Crew. How about ousting the champs? How about no home losses since July 6th? NE has been the best offense for an incredible amount of time, it's only natural that it should wane at some point. NE has until Saturday to find it again. CLB@1.95

Canbet are an Australian outfit who always seem to have high prices, at least for MLS. The other MLS guy at bettingadvice (http://www.bettingadvice.com) seems to consistently find the best prices wit them as well. I think they’ll be my next account.

As for the matches, I just can’t bring myself to go against LA at this point, even at altitude in Denver. Columbus on the other hand, are very tempting. Might have to sleep on that one.
