But,
where can we find these deals?
From intertops:
@SJ 1.64 3.35 4.4 CHI
@NE 2.05 3.1 3.1 KC
@CLB 2.45 3.05 2.55 MET
@DAL 2.0 3.1 3.25 dc
@COL 2.55 2.95 2.5 LA
To the games:
SJ v CHI: No Onstad, Dayak, or Ching for San Ho. Corrales is questionable. SJ was held scoreless v Seattle midweek. CHI spanked Colorado 4-0, Armas is healing, and Razov is coming back to full fitness. Donovan proved that his presence means that no team can be considered a "B" team in dismantling Wales. CHI at full throttle will be tougher. SJ should win. However, the CHI price is worth a flier here as CHI is close to full strength with Beasley on form. Traditionally this fixture is low scoring so "UNDER" may not have value.
CHI @ 5.00
NE v KC: Both teams are on unbeaten streaks, KC-5 and NE-4. For NE, Joseph is out on the backline with Pierce merely hobbled. Moore is a maybe, but a lessened/absent Moore has been a poor indicator for the Revs. KC has guys returning to full fitness as Simutenkov, Guttierez, and Wolff all should be available. KC has won 5 of 6 v NE with the sixth being the tie in KC weeks ago. Use caution as KC is my "bogey team". The price is a gift from the heavens. 3.6:1 on a healing, improving on defense, unbeaten on the road, and unbeaten in 5 team with NE slightly hobbled at the back? Noonan is good, but please.
KC @ 3.6
CLB v MET: Interesting matchup of 2 teams with growing negatives. CLB has yielded 7 in their last 2 losses, but is at home. METs lockerroom will ceratinly be trying to put aside the pending losses of keeper Howard and striker Mathis to Europe. Meanwhile they have won 5 straight after starting 0-1-1. Mathis and Howard are still there for now. How can you bet against a 15-point streak?
MET @ 2.8
DAL v dc: Lead pipe lock of the week. dc is winless and missing this list - Etch, Reyes, Olsen, Quaranta, and Barclay. Benny O has been their only consistent danger. Rimando played and traveled from the left coast midweek. DAL will win at home, possibly a blowout. Look for some great quote regarding dc as a gored matador in the post-game comments.
DAL @ 2.1
COL v LA: The early toilet bowl. LA without Ruiz is roughly as lethal as dc, but this isn't a normal MLS matchup - it's toothless and creatorless Colorado. Hendu and Chung keep running, but for what purpose? Kyle Beckerman even retired this week rather than continue the fight. Who knows if he had a choice about it. Help may be coming for the Rapids, but for now they are on their own. LA is better on paper most everywhere but left wing (Chung), DM (Maestroeni) and striker (Who steps up for red-carded Ruiz). The only other thing COL has going for it is LA has lost 2 of 3 and should be looking well forward to hosting COL next week in the new building. Even the price on DRAW sucks. I honestly have little clue on this garbage offering of a game, so I'll default to my rule of
never betting on a team that gave up 4 the previous week. Have to take LA to break the duck.
LA @ 2.65
Prime 3 will be DAL for certain, KC on the road, and LA reluctantly.
I'm 13-17 down $21.20 overall but upward trending.
