Colorado Rapids 1, San Jose Earthquakes 1
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to the DRAW (+250) as the best value.
San Jose has a couple of odd wins this season over the Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy. Outside of the playoff picture as of now, the Earthquakes also clearly aren’t a top-tier side.
Over their last 10 matches, they’ve played extremely well but still managed a draw in six of them. The Rapids have also drawn two of their last five outings.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+105) as both sides haven’t been scoring much lately.
The Rapids also have one of the better defenses in MLS. They’ve given up the second-fewest goals in the Western Conference and the Under hit in three of their last six matches.
San Jose has given up a little over a goal per game as well. Recently, the Earthquakes have been in mainly low-scoring games as seven of their last nine totaled fewer than 3 goals.
