Pick: DC UNITED +125

After winning the first two matches of season and recording consecutive clean sheets in the process, DC United has lost four in a row.

New England is just 2-1-4 this season and they also had a stretch of four straight losses. The Revolution managed a 2-1 win over expansion Charlotte last week to end their four-game skid.

DC United has to win a game sometime. Playing at home is a huge advantage in MLS play. That will be the edge DC needs to get the win here.

Top Rated Sports Handicappers

San Jose vs. Seattle

Pick: SAN JOSE +155

The Earthquakes are going to win sometime. Why not this Saturday? San Jose has yet to win a match this season. They are 0-3-4 in seven matches thus far.

Their opponent, Seattle, has been to the MLS Cup finals in four of the past six seasons. But, the Sounders are off to a very slow start in 2022. They have just two wins and are 2-1-3 overall.

Seattle won 3-1 the last time they visited San Jose. That was last September. The Earthquakes will be looking to avenge that loss.

Despite having zero wins, San Jose ranks seventh in average possession time compared to Seattle which ranks 17th. That possession time will translate into a San Jose victory.

Austin FC vs. Vancouver

Pick: AUSTIN -165

Consecutive wins over DC and MIN have pushed Austin into second place in the West. The club is now 4- 2-1 with 14 points. Austin is one of the top scoring teams in the league. They are tied with LAFC with 17 goals.

Austin FC is fourth in average possession time. If not for San Jose, Vancouver would be last in the West with just four points and a 1-1-5 record.

Part of the Whitecaps’ problem is possession. They rank 23rd in average possession time, which has translated into six goals in seven matches.

With Austin playing at home, back the home favorite.
