Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Take San Diego -1.5 (+130) over LA Galaxy (4:45 p.m. EST, Saturday May 24) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time – San Diego FC must win by two or more goals) LA Galaxy have shown they are by far the worst team in MLS this season. They have four points on the season and have yet to record a win. They have allowed 33 goals through 14 matches. The next worst defensive side has allowed 25. They have only 12 goals this season on offense. Their -21 goal differential is the worst in the league by far. And it’s not going to get any easier on Saturday rolling into San Diego and playing a side that will be a rival for years to some. Not only is San Diego in the playoff mix, but they have major motivation here from a rivalry perspective to run up the score. This isn’t an ordinary expansion team, as they sit third in the Western Conference with 24 points. They are ahead of traditional powers like LAFC and Seattle. They have the second best goal differential in the Western Conference and only three sides in MLS have a better GD. They are well rounded with 25 goals and only 16 allowed. They opened their franchise with a 2-0 win over this same Galaxy team, and that was in Los Angeles. This one could be an even bigger blowout, and we think this San Diego club will revel in the chance to kick the Galaxy while they are down. Read More Read Less
