El sorprendente Orlando City se clasificó a la final del MLS is Back venciendo por marcador de 3-1 al Minnesota que se despidió del torneo con una buena participación.

Lo veníamos anticipando, el equipo de Orlando hizo muy bien las cosas desde el primer partido y lleva una buena racha de partidos haciendo un futbol efectivo que hoy los tiene en la final y muy cerca de conseguir su pase a la Concachampions 20-21.

Con doblete del portugués Nani, Orlando manejó casi todo el partido con el 2-0 a favor, sin embargo en la parte final del partido Minnesota logró descontar al 83 por conducto de Toye pero no fue suficiente en tiempo de compensación Orlando amplió su ventaja y cerró su boleto a la final.

Nos espera un gran partido el próximo martes entre Timbers y Orlando City, con justicia ambos en la gran final.

Prediction

Portland Timbers 3, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

PORTLAND (-125) is a heavy favorite to move past FC Cincinnati (+320), and rightly so. First off, the Timbers racked up six goals (two per game) with a plus-2 differential to top a competitive Group F. Cincinnati was boat-raced 4-0 by Columbus in their group opener before posting a pair of clean sheets against a poor Atlanta United side (1-0) and the uninspired New York Red Bulls (2-0). Cincy is banged up, too, and even with all hands on deck against the Timbers it would have been a tall tree to chop down.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-139) is the play here. Most of the Round of 16 games have been, or will be, competitive. This one is going to be a laugher, with the Timbers marching into the next round with a decisive, high-scoring result.

LAFC vs. Portland Timbers: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 6 a.m. ET.

Prediction

LAFC 3, Portland 2

Moneyline (ML)

Expect LAFC (-167) to put the peddle to the metal, just like when it routed the rival L.A. Galaxy by a 6-2 count last time out. Portland (+400) won each of its first two matches and are sitting pretty atop Group F with an invitation to the Round of 16 already extended. Look for LAFC, which has also qualified for the Round of 16, to finish up group play strong with a three-point night.

A $10 winning wager on LAFC (+167) to win outright nets a profit of $5.99. A $10 wager on Portland (+400) to win would net a profit of $40, while a Draw (+290) would fetch a $29 profit.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+105) is worth some consideration here. LAFC rolled up six goals last time out, and it has nine goals with five conceded through two matches. Portland has scored four and yielded two, and knowing it already advanced, its lack of motivation in the offensive zone is a bit worrisome for Over bettors. Still, LAFC has enough firepower to see this thing across the finish line.

Houston Dynamo vs. Portland Timbers: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 6:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Portland 3, Houston 1

Moneyline (ML)

PORTLAND (+115) is the play in this one, as Houston (+210) has a terrible defense and shaky goalkeeping. The Dynamo just cannot be trusted. Conversely, the Timbers have locked it down on defense, allowing just one goal to the Galaxy in the group play opener, and they had a clean sheet in their final game before the pause against Nashville. The Timbers are far and away the better club here.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-167) is a slam-dunk play here – O/U 2.5 is the line available at most sportsbooks. However, at BetMGM, you can also hammer OVER 3.5 (+140) at a nice value. Houston’s defensive effort has been so poor during the regular season and in the first game of this tournament, so Portland has the potential to take care of the Over by itself. Betting BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-189) is also worth a small-unit play.

LA Galaxy vs. Portland Timbers: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 8 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Portland 1, Los Angeles 0

Moneyline (ML)

PORTLAND (+150) is a solid play here. The Timbers have already tasted victory once this season, and they’ve yet to experience a setback, going 1-0-1. LA Galaxy (+165) managed to find the back of the net just once in the first two matches of the regular season, and the long layoff due to the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to do them any favors. Rust won’t be a friend to their offense.

A $10 wager on Portland (+150) to win outright nets a profit of $15. A $10 wager on LA (+165) to win would net a profit of $16.50, while a Draw or Tie (+270) would fetch a $27 profit.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 3.5 (-162) is a slam-dunk play here. Both teams had trouble penetrating the net of the opponent in their first two matches, with Los Angeles accounting for just one goal, and Portland posting just two total goals. Both sides played pretty strong defense in the first two matches, too. While we have seen 2.5 or more goals in each of the past three in this series, lean Under and lean hard.
