Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Upcoming games
The Whitecaps have been the favorite in all 27 of their MLS games so far this season, the only club never priced as the underdog. A 15-5-7 record, and the Whitecaps moneyline is 4.43 units in the red.
Favored every time
Only Nashville SC win more often than Vancouver. Only Inter Miami CF score more than their 2.22 goals a game, and only Nashville concede fewer than their 1.07, a figure Los Angeles FC match. So how is a 15-5-7 record a losing ticket? The fifteen wins paid 7.57 units between them. The five draws and seven defeats cost twelve.
At these prices a win pays little. A 3-0 home win over the LA Galaxy at -475 returned 0.21 units; the 1-2 home defeat to Austin FC at -390 took a whole one. Twenty-three clubs have a better moneyline return as the favorite; five have a worse one.
Home and away
At home Vancouver are 9-2-4 and 3.06 units down. Away, 6-3-3 and 1.38 down. All four home defeats came at minus prices: Austin; St. Louis City SC, 3-1 winners at -210; and the San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo FC, both 1-0 winners at -175. A 3-3 home draw with D.C. United on 26 September came at -380.
April was perfect, 4-0-0 and 1.27 up. From July on: 5-3-5 and 5.41 down. Houston beat Vancouver in both meetings, 1-0 each time. FC Dallas, the Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City lost both; those eight wins together paid 3.85 units.
The under, at 3.5
Sixteen unders and 11 overs; only the Seattle Sounders FC and Houston went under more often. At 3.5 goals, posted 19 times, the split is ten unders to nine overs. At 2.5 the under won five of seven.
