Saturday, May 1, 2010-
The dream of an 0-0-30 season is still alive in DC as United lost at home 2-0 to the Red Bulls.
On to tonight's picks:
Real Salt Lake -164 Toronto FC 1 unit
1 team is good, 1 team is not very good. 1 team is at home, the other on the road. That is all I need to know or say here.
KC +0.5/even 1 unit
KC +359 Houston 1 unit.
Wiz are playing well and were unlucky to have beaten league leaders LA Galaxy last one out. Houston lost ANOTHER key player last week to injury. That makes everyone but the popcorn vendor and the guy waving the flas having spent time on the sidelines so far this year.
good luck.Comment -
1-2 -1.0 on weekend.

KC +270 DC United 2 units
All aboard the DC United fade train. They have yet to show a pulse this year and until they do no reason to not bet against them. Not only have they been losing, they have been losing badly. KC is much improved, stumbled at Houston last week, and will be anxious to get back on track. Even on the road, they are the far better side here.
Colorado +140 LA Galaxy 1 unit
Denver is not an easy place to come out with points and the Galaxy could be in for a bit of a letdown here. If anything, they are overrated price-wise thus the obvious Rapids play.
New England/Chivas USA Over 2 & 2.5/even 1 unit
Without Shalrie Joseph still the Revs cannot control midfield thus making for a more wide open game. Klejstan is dying for a breakout game for Chivas and this sets up to be as good a spot as any.
Good luck,
ClydeComment -
DC finally gets their first win of the season. Although I did not see the whole game, what I saw they still did not look very good. Can't imagine them winning double digits this year.
LA continues to beat opponents as well.
The lone win was Chivas single-handledly ringing the total bell.
Sides for Thursday:
0-2 (-3.0)
Totals:
1-0 (+1.0)
Will look at the weekend slate later.Comment -

Sat. 5/8/10 picks.
Sorry, no writeups.
SEA/LA UN 2&2.5/-110 1 unit

Dallas -112 2 units
NY Red Bulls +251 1 unit.Comment -
Updated record YTD-
Sides: 10-9-1 (+7.12)
Totals: 6-3-1 (+1.88)
One play for Thursday night-
RSL/Hou Under 2.5/-118 1 unit.
Strength of Dynamo side lies in the back line with the numerous questionmarks up front. Real has gone over the total 6 of 7 games so far this year. I don't expect that to continue going forward. Both of these teams are close in the table and even though it is early to talk about the playoff race this is an important game that could determine their roles. While these teams have scored lots of goals in Texas, the last 5 games in Utah have gone under. Expecting a tight tense game tonight that ends up either scoreless or 1-0.
Good luck.Comment -
Salt Lake wins 3-1. Every now and then I have to throw in a complete stinker. If nothing else, this will make me sit back and re-evaluate RSL. On to Saturday.Comment -

Dallas +189 Philly 1 unit
Line is reflective of home field advantage. Philly still not a very good team and has a shoddy defense. Cunningham is best player on pitch.
NE/SJ OV 2.5/-103 2 units
Both teams have been leaking goals and the matchup begs for another goalfest.
Colorado +237 DC United 1 unit
See my 5,634 other posts on how bad DC United is this year. Playing with the house's money.
KC +132 Chicago 1 unit
Wizards have been a bit schizophrenic of late but they are a team to not take lightly at home.
Good luck.Comment -
any thoughts on the game tonight with LA galaxy vs TorontoComment -
need to update my record from last week. Will do that later, a couple picks for tonight.
NY Red Bulls +139 columbus 2 units
Schletto is suspended for Crew and they have a few injuries as well. RB not exactly healthy with full squad either but will be inspired playing on national TV at home tonight.
Dallas/LA Under 2.5/-118 1 unit
No Buddle and no Donovan is all I need to know in this one. LA will try and pack it in without their two playmakers and their strength in the back line will keep this one under.Comment -
Didn't tail you on the under for full match under for the Dallas/LA match, but kept a close eye on the match...at halftime, went big on the 2nd half under 1 1/2...cha-ching! Turned what would have been a less than stellar night (thanks to baseball) into a very, very positive day.
Tough luck on the Red Bulls match, but we can't win 'em all, right? Looking forward to seeing more of your picks. Keep up the great work!Comment -
Man, NY really screwed you. They hit the post three times in that game. Sorry about the loss. Unlucky.Comment -

YTD
Sides: 11-12-1 (+5.49 units)
Totals: 7-4-1 (+0.82).
Pretty sure that is correct. Still on the plus side for the year.
Keep in mind that most of these sides are three-way lines so I would not expect to hit 50%, nor would I need to in order to break even.
Also, soccer is full of bad beats and unlucky breaks. In one game, the best side often does not win (especially with draws taken in to account). All a bettor can do is pick the right side and usually the breaks will even themselves out (although mentally this does not seem to be the case).
Good slate of games tomorrow. I'll give you one guess as to who I will be fading tomorrow, most likely. If you answered fade DC United you have been paying attention.
Good luck.Comment -
Two for Saturday.
Houston -146 dc united 2 units.
Obviously I am still on the DC fade train. Could not pass this up as I thought Dynamo would be -200 or more here.
Chivas/RSL OV 2.5 +101 1 unit.
I learned from last week that Salt Lake is playing a more confident, aggressive style. Chivas despite some defections is still fairly weak on the defensive side of the ball.
Good luck.Comment -
One for today, Sunday:
KC +157 columbus
KC/columbus DRAW +233 1 unit each
Wizards are Jekyll and Hyde on home and road. Strong side with unique home pitch advantage. Columbus played Thursday night and the Thursday/Sunday road double is rare for MLS sides. Crew also missing two standouts to national squad. Risking two units that Wiz get at least a point out of this matchup.Comment -

Quick picks for Saturday night (as I run out the door):
DC United +125 chivas 1 unit
No that is not a misprint, I am actually betting on DC to win.
NE/ny OV 2 & 2.5/-120 1 unit
SJ -130 tor 1 unit
RSL/kc OV 2.5/-110 2 units.
Things are hectic here, apologize for no writeups of substance.
Good luck.Comment
