The odds are long enough to make it tempting.
But , who is going to get the goal for DC?

Frankly, none of the matches jump out at me.
I might switch over for some EPL action this weekend.

A Rapids to DC parlay seems to intrigue me. Especially at 21.00.

There are no games that hold alot of value to me with the exception of MET. I don't think MET will continue the bad home record. Maybe a draw for SJ. There is a good chance of a scoreless draw. dc has a good defence, is improving, and SJ has had trouble scoring of late.

SJ is unbeaten at home, dc is winnless on the road and goalless in 500+ minutes. SJ @ 1.4

MET has a poor record at home in MLS, is having defensive problems, and was passed for the East lead by Chicago last weekend. Dallas has already won in Giants stadium this year, are the defacto East champs with the best record against the division, Kreis is back scoring, and Jordan is playing well. However, the decider will be the return of Mathis, Diallo, and Brad Davis MET @ 2.15

Col is LA's bogey team this season, but is 2-10 in the Rose Bowl. Ruiz is out, but LA is a much better home team. There are so many factors in this game that point out the very small separation between the two teams. Col wins this series with a draw. That would be good enough for home field advantage in most scenarios. I'll go with a tie. DRAW @ 3.2

Chicago without Wolff is still plenty good enough to score. CHI @ 2.75

KC is in a shambles and without Garcia, Meola, and possibly Simuntenkov. KC does not have a 4th defender of quality. Clb has speed and talent up front even without "bake" McBride. Busch has deservedly taken the starting GK job for Clb also. 4.3 is an incredible value for the situation. I can't see KC correcting that many problems just because they are at home. CLMB @ 4.3

My first 3 are the main 3.

i'm kicking myself right now for forgetting to place the columbus bet

[JayDelight729]

I usually only bet on EPL and Champions League Games when it comes to soccer(other sports as well. But I took your guys advice and put money on Columbus and boy did it pay off.

I plan to bet on MLS now on a regular basis.

Thanks for the tip.

Sometimes i get the feeling the Euro oddsmakers aren't quite as well-versed in MLS as the major leagues. KC has been reeling since their ass-kicking in Mexico. This one seemed like easy pickings.
