Pick:	Hati +105

Analysis:

Doc’s Sports Free Gold Cup Soccer Play. Take Hati +105 over Trinidad & Tobago (7:45 p.m. EST, Thursday June 19) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time – a DRAW is a loser here) Both sides lost their Gold Cup opener, but Hati looked a lot better in their loss. They lost 1-0 to Saudi Arabia as a big underdog, and they played well enough for at least a draw but gave up an early penalty. They played strong defense, however, and had some chances for the equalizer. They take a step down in competition here against a T&T side that lost 5-0 in their opener to a USA side that entered the tournament losers of four straight. The Americans scored at will and used T&T as target practice. T&T have won only one of their last eight matches, and they had one draw during that stretch. These sides have met only twice in history, and Hati won both matches, and neither was at home. This neutral site in Houston won’t make it any easier for T&T, and they will be in tough here. Hati is the better side. And even though they have lost two consecutive matches, they had won nine straight prior to that, and this seems like a great spot to get back on the winning track and collect full points in the process.
