Vancouver Whitecaps at 2.22 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the MLS this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would avoid.
San Diego’s 3.25 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.55 — these derbies often follow scripts, and pressure can kill attacking flow.
