Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take Seattle -130 over San Diego (8:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday May 28) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time – a draw is a loser here) Both sides won on Saturday, but Seattle looked better doing it. The Sounders won only 1-0 at home vs. Dallas but they dominated time of possession and had more solid chances on goal. San Diego played the only winless side in MLS, LA Galaxy, and needed a miracle at home in extra time to earn their three points after a draw looked like a formality. The Galaxy made a major mental error at the end of that match. San Diego has been great as an expansion side and actually is firmly in a playoff spot at No. 2 in the west. We just don’t think they have looked good the last few weeks even though they took points in all three matches. All three were at home and against beatable opponents. San Diego typically hadn’t been good on the road this season and Seattle has now won three straight at home and they have one of the best home pitch advantages in MLS. Seattle is four points behind San Diego, so they can make up a lot of ground with three points here. We think this line is short and we expect an easy win by the home side on Wednesday.
