Prediction
Los Angeles Galaxy 2, San Jose Earthquakes 0
Money line (ML)
The LOS ANGELES GALAXY (+200) is a value play against the sliding San Jose Earthquakes (+110) at PayPal Park Saturday night.
The Galaxy posted a clean sheet at home against the Quakes in the first meeting at the end of May, and San Jose has really had trouble finding the back of the net lately. They have been blanked in five of the past six matches.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 3.5 (-155) is a bit costly but easily the best play on the board in this match between Golden State rivals. In fact, playing the alternate line of UNDER 2.5 GOALS (+160) is quite attractive.
In addition, I really like the GALAXY TO WIN AND UNDER 2.5 COMBINED GOALS SCORED IN GAME (+800) on the 1X2 and Over/Under 2.5 section.
Play the GALAXY (+110) FOR FIRST GOAL SCORED too.
