7pm Portland vs Dallas - Good news on the lines for what I want. Portland's losing streak has to end sometime, right? I guess their streak has a lot to do with this line, which I will take every single time. Dallas are 1-1-8 away from home, which seems to be forgotten here. What also seems to be forgotten are that Portland are still a very formidable team at home. Portland have lost to RSL, LA at home, and also twice to Chivas, which is a bit interesting but understandable as Chivas seem to be a better version of Portland. This will be the game Portland breaks the losing streak, even if it's just a draw. The pk line is absolutely perfect for me here, personally I try to pick spots to make things happen. Just like I picked Murray for 4u today I'm on the Portland pk for 4u as well, juice be damned. I love them in this spot and and even getting a bit excited typing this, lol. Not to mention the REVENGE ANGLE (oh no, not that!) as Dallas beat Portland 5-0 just two weeks ago. The fans, the players will know that. Ferocious. Portland pk -136
9pm Seattle vs Los Angeles - This match is one of the true derbies in MLS - not manufactured by anyone, made of real animosity. Seattle thinks they belong, Los Angeles laughs in their face. The 2010 playoff series was when it came to a climax, LA easily dominating Seattle both home and away and ever since then there's been nothing in it, all very close games, competitive, until Seattle beat the Galaxy earlier this season 2-0, featuring a highlight-reel goal by Montero which I still remember well. That match was the start of a serious slide for the Galaxy, which they just now are getting out of. The defense is still shaky though, but they are scoring bunches of goals for fun. Seattle loves to dominate possession, which they do for the most part, and usually get good results. When a good team comes in and works and works and works however, things don't go well. The Galaxy WERE that type of team. They do have two shutouts in their streak, but those two were very similar types of wins. Played in intense heat against teams that love to slow things down and play a possession game. That type of stop and go style suits the Galaxy perfectly... Seattle normally miss tons of chances but do keep the pressure on. And if their strikers click, they can score. Seattle have had a few tough games against teams that bunker in (0-1 RSL, 0-2 CLB, 1-1 KC) but when you look at the Galaxy they've held the home team scoreless twice in 12 games. And when you look at the Galaxy's new strategy since their season-altering win at RSL, they've scored 3-3-2-5-2-1 goals away from home. LA against a team who create chances and have good wingers getting in give up their fair share of goals. Against possession South-American style teams (like the Fire + Dallas) they can hold down the fort without a problem. Will be a good one to be sure. Over 2.5 +100
