Prediction
Sounders 3, Real Salt Lake 1
Money line (ML)
BET on the SOUNDERS (-165) because, quite frankly, they’ve just been better than any other team in MLS. They’ve handled business against both mid-tier, low-tier and top-tier teams.
Seattle, behind F Raul Ruidiaz‘s MLS-leading 7 goals, has the second-most goals in MLS. It has also, by far, given up the fewest with just 4 goals allowed through nine games.
RSL is a solid opponent. It is tied for the sixth-most goals in MLS and has given up just 8 through seven games. However, it just won’t be enough against a talented Sounders team.

Over/Under (O/U)
BET the OVER 2.5 (-135) because both teams are scoring machines. In a combined 16 matches, the two teams have managed 28 goals.
While they’ve given up just 12, that’s more on Seattle’s dominance. Both teams are clinical at finishing in the attacking third as the Sounders and RSL are tied for first and eighth, respectively, in goals within 18 yards.
They are also both within the top four in assists in MLS. Combine that with both teams hitting the Over in their last games, and the value is on the Over Wednesday.
RSL topped the projected total in five of seven games, and Seattle has hit it in four of nine.
