Sporting Kansas City/Seattle Sounders Draw +277

The Wizards extended their undefeated streak to nine games with 1-1 draw against Atlanta United on Sunday. Unfortunately, two thirds of those games have been draws. Kansas City had the chance of posting back-to-back wins for the first time since May but conceded the game-tying goal in the 91^st minute.

The Sounders prolonged their won unbeaten stretch to seven games with a 4-0 win over Minnesota on Saturday, which was also their third straight clean sheet. Clint Dempsey scored twice and leads the team with nine scores. However, the Sounders will go from facing the flimsiest defense in the league to the tightest one. Kansas City has only allowed 18 goals, compared to the Loons’ 49.

Toronto FC vs. Portland Timbers soccer betting preview

Date: Saturday, August 12^th
Time: 6:00 PM
Venue: BMO Field
Online gambling odds for fans who bet on soccer:

Portland Timbers +1 (-129) 3 (-106) +415

Toronto FC -1 (+114) 3 (-109) -149

Portland Timbers/Toronto FC Draw +322

Toronto extended its own tie-dominated streak to five games with a 1-1 draw against bottom-of-the-East-barrel DC United on Saturday. TFC conceded an early lead and only managed to salvage a point thanks to DC defender Steve Birnbaum own goal in the 52^nd minute. Despite the underwhelming effort remains the best team in the 2017 season.

Captain Liam Ridgewell scored his first goal since coming back from injury before leaving with an aggravated quad, Diego Valeri his team-leading 12^th, and Alvas Powell his first of the season to help the Timbers defeat the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1 on Sunday.

Unfortunately for Portland, Ridgwell and forward Fanendo Adi (hamstring) are both questionable for Saturday.

Columbus Crew SC vs. Chicago Fire soccer betting preview

Date: Saturday, August 12^th
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Mapfre Stadium
Online gambling odds for fans who bet on soccer:

Chicago Fire +½ (-126) 3 (-124) +240

Columbus Crew -½ (+111) 3 (+109) +115

Chicago Fire/Columbus Crew Draw +271

The Fire snapped a three-game winless streak – but prolonged a nine-home game winning streak – with a 4-1 blowout of the Revolution on Saturday. Brazilian midfielder Vitor Gomes Pereira Júnior (aka Juninho) scored his first goal with the Men in Red. The Fire’s nine straight wins at home is tied with the 2000-01 Miami Fusion for most in the history of the league.

The Crew extended their winless stretch to three games with a 1-2 loss to San Jose on Saturday. Adam Jahn pulled Columbus within one goal in the 76^th minute but it was to no avail. The Black and Gold’s poor road record could easily cost them a playoff berth.
