San Jose pulls us in via a different way for MLS Midweek Picks on 8/3. Why? Normally, it is just because some team is going to score 2-3 goals on them. This time around, they have the advantageous matchup for a change. The Earthquakes are at home on Wednesday night against an Inter Miami team that has ten losses compared to San Jose’s nine.
Now, ideally, there are just some teams that draw or play lower-scoring games than others. This is not the case with San Jose. They have scored 36 goals this season and given up 45 goals. Meanwhile, Inter Miami has allowed 36 themselves. This is a squad that is capable of allowing 2-3 goals a game on the road. The Earthquakes are 2-2-3 in their past seven matches and have started to look a little better.
So, whether this rumor comes to fruition does not matter. It does not change the fact that the Earthquakes are simply in better form. They even beat the LA Galaxy at home a few weeks back and endured a hard luck loss to Portland.
Yes, MLS Midweek Picks 8/3 focuses on the following. Can San Jose take care of business at home?
Some do not understand that the San Jose Earthquakes are even better offensively than the appear. It is partially why they are capable of winning 2-1 and 3-2 contests. As a matter of fact, the last nine games have seen the team score two or more goals six times. It is why San Jose is such a good candidate in betting them over Inter Miami on MLS Midweek Picks.
Granted, the Earthquakes always will have issues with defending their net. Fortunately, Inter Miami has a goal differential of 11 while yielding 37 goals. Again, the Earthquakes have averaged right around two goals a game in their past nine contests. The South Florida squad has given up nine goals in their past three games and does not even include the friendly against Barcelona where they allowed six tallies.
Early on, Inter Miami looked like they were going to beat Cincinnati on Saturday. Sadly, in a blink of an eye they gave up four goals and had to settle for a draw. That is why the San Jose Earthquakes are a fun plus-value pick for MLS Midweek Picks 8/3. Take the spread as San Jose can win by a goal. Consider the Over as a possibility too since it is at 3.0 at +102.
MLS Picks 8/3 zeroes in on another team who has started to score a bit of late. That is the Portland Timbers. Portland looks to dispose of Nashville SC at home on Wednesday night. This is mostly because so far this Portland team (who plays at Providence Park) has shown improvement with seven wins, six losses, and ten draws so far. The Portland squad has not lost in eight matches and won four of them.
Now, players like Blanco have been a pleasant surprise for the Timbers. Even with the announcement that Felipe Mora is out for the season, the Timbers are favored against a tough Nashville team at home. The key is the start and our expectation at VegasBetting, is to take a risk versus a .500 Nashville squad that is not quite so good on the road. This will not be an easy.
For the MLS Midweek Picks 8/3, our pick is to take the Timbers over Nashville SC on Wednesday night. They possess good scoring chance numbers overall and their conversion rate is a good deal higher. Also, this Portland team now has 39 goals on the season compared to Nashville’s 29. Portland will look to avenge a 2-2 draw last month where the Timbers had to rally from down two goals. The goals will continue.
The least difficult pick of the night may just be the Columbus Crew and Montreal Impact to score some goals on Wednesday night. The Crew had scored seven goals in their previous three contests before putting up a bagel against the New England Revolution on Saturday. Montreal, in the meantime has average more than 1.5 goals a game this season. Funny enough, the Impact also come off a double bagel versus NYCFC.
Unfortunately, a dilemma exists with the moneyline which is hovering around EVEN almost everywhere. The second, but more intriguing, are these two picks. The over is at just 2.5 goals for teams who could easily score four or more times combined Saturday night. That number is at -108. Even the goal line at -0.5 at an alluring +102. Our MLS Midweek picks on 8/3 says run the Columbus goal line and the over.
Yes, August gets going and the sports world looks up. For starters, there are some succulent online MLB betting sites as the trade deadline has past.
Finally, there is always NASCAR, F1, and yes NFL Preseason action too. These summer sports just set up the legends of the Fall to come.
