Pick:	Seattle +180
Start:	June 8, 2025 @ 7:00 PM

Analysis:

Doc’s Sports Free MLS Soccer Play. Take Seattle +180 over Vancouver (7 p.m. EST, Sunday June 8) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time – a DRAW is a loser here) This is a great price on the Sounders, and we think they have a great chance for the outright win. They like playing in Vancouver and have won consecutive matches here. Their last visit, in October, produced a 3-0 victory. Home pitch hasn’t meant much in this series lately, as the road side has earned points in five straight meetings. There is no other way to say it – the Whitecaps look like crap lately. They have lost their winning touch. They have just one win in four MLS matches against a favorable schedule. On Sunday they played one of the worst matches we can remember in the Champions Cup final against Cruz Azul in Mexico City. They squandered all their hard work to get to the final only to lose, 5-0. They not only didn’t have a shot on goal, but not even a shot at all. They earned less than 33 percent on possession. Seattle has won two of three MLS matches, and they are in solid form. They had a setback against Minnesota at Lumen Field last time out, but they did score two in a losing effort. They are very comfortable playing here in Vancouver, and they can make up a lot of ground in the standings by earning three points on the road here. Read More Read Less
