Pick:	San Diego +220

Analysis:

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take San Diego +220 over Minnesota (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 1) We hit a +200 underdog on Orlando in MLS with our free soccer pick last week, and let’s do it again this week. Both sides have struggled this season, but San Diego looks like they are turning their season around and they have a chance to jump Minnesota in the standings with three points here. We think San Diego is the better side, and they should be motivated here. They won their lone visit to Minnesota, 4-2, in their short franchise history. We think they can do it again. They are coming off a 1-0 home win over Dallas. In their inaugural season last year they played well on the road at this point of the season and cashed many plus-money tickets in similar situations. Minnesota is on a six-match winless streak, and they have won just one of their last nine. They have five outright losses during that span. They have just three goals in their last five matches, while San Diego has 11 in the same span. San Diego will be aggressive here and we don’t think the Minnesota offense can match them. Great value here, and the road side has a great chance to steal three points for a massive payout. Read More Read Less
