Money line (ML)
There is just no way to justify playing the Seattle Sounders FC (-300) straight up as they will cost you three times your potential return.
AVOID, and instead look to the spread, taking SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC -1 (+100) at even money.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (+105) is a solid wager. Seattle has kept a clean sheet in four of its six home matches in the Emerald City. Meanwhile, Vancouver is skidding hard, dropping five in a row, and they have a total of three goals during the slide.
