MLS Matchday Preview, July 9th – Real Salt Lake vs. Colorado – Betting Odds & Free Pick – Info

Moneyline Odds: Real Salt Lake -111 / Colorado Rapids +290
Draw Offs: +250
Where Can I Watch? ESPN +
Real Salt Lake is currently 3rd on the Western Conference, coming in with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses so far.
They may remain close to the top, but they need to pick up the pace before they are left behind.
They face the Colorado Rapids, who are 12th in the western conference and have won 5, drawn 4, and lost 8 matches.
It will be a good time for Salt Lake to show its strength and close the distance to the top.
We pick Real Salt Lake as the winners, in a 1-0 victory
MLS Matchday Preview, July 9th – Montreal vs. Sporting KC– Betting Odds & Free Pick – Info
When: Saturday, July 9th, 07:30 pm ET
Moneyline Odds: Montreal -126 / Sporting KC +310
Draw Offs: +270
Where Can I Watch? ESPN +
Montreal is going through the season in a kill-or-be-killed state of mind, landing in 3rd place in the eastern conference with 9 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses.
They are going all-in on aggressive fashion, and it has worked well so far, but it is not the most efficient path.
Their opponents though, are Sporting KC, who are going through a disastrous season with 4 wins, 4 ties, and 11 losses.
We may believe that Montreal’s approach is kind of reckless, but it will simply run over Sporting KC, and we expect a Montreal victory 2-0
