The Seattle Sounders (7 wins, 0 losses, 5 draws) host the Houston Dynamo (3-3-6) Wednesday at Lumen Field. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Houston Dynamo vs. Seattle Sounders odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.
The Sounders, as you can tell by their record, are coming in red hot. They’re the only team in MLS without a loss on the season. However, they lost an impactful veteran in F Will Bruin to a torn meniscus last week.
Surprisingly, the Sounders played to a draw in each their last two games. They have 4 wins and 3 draws at home.
The Dynamo are coming off a draw with one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference in FC Cincinnati, and they have yet to win on the road.

Prediction
Seattle Sounders 2, Houston Dynamo 0
Money line (ML)
BET on the SOUNDERS (-145).
There really isn’t another way to play this. While they’ve struggled against weak teams, tying Austin FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps, I’d expect them to take of business Wednesday.
With F Raul Ruidiaz leading the way, Seattle should be able to break through a weak Houston defense. The Sounders don’t give up many goals, while the Dynamo have the fourth-most goals allowed in the Western Conference.
I’d be shocked if the Sounders couldn’t break down Houston’s back line, even without Bruin.

Over/Under (O/U)
BET the UNDER 2.5 (+115) as a plus-money bet on the total for MLS typically feels like a good deal. The Sounders have given up just 8 goals through 12 games and have typically dictated the pace of the game.
The Under hit in five of the last eight games for Seattle and in three of the last four for Houston.
The Dynamo have scored 16 goals and given up 17 through 12 matches. While their games typically run higher scoring, expect the Under to hit if Seattle dictates the pace as expected.
