Seattle Sounders vs Minnesota United

Seattle (-172) is a heavy money-line favorite at home on Monday thanks to their 10-1-6 record at Lumed Field this year. The Sounders carried the play in their Game 1 loss to Minnesota, dominating possession and holding a 15-11 shot advantage. Unable to convert in regulation, Seattle eventually fell 3-2 in penalties.

Minnesota United (+410) is a heavy longshot to secure a road victory despite holding a respectable 8-3-6 record away from home this year. If you pick a draw at +325, keep in mind that you will lose the bet if game 2 also goes into penalty kicks as there are no actual draws in the MLS playoffs.

Keeper steals Game 1

The OVER/UNDER for Game 2 on Monday night is set at 3 total goals following the series opening scoreless draw. Minnesota's Dayne St. Clair showed why he is one of three finalists for MLS goalkeeper of the year in Game 1.

The Canadian made an incredible diving save on Cristian Roldan in the 54th minute before robbing Danny Musovski from close range in the 80th minute. He then stopped a penalty kick by Seattle's Alex Roldan to seal the victory.

Can the Sounders roar back?

The Loons handed Seattle their only home loss of the season back in June. However, Monday's Game 1 defeat was the Sounders' first loss in five contests. Additionally, it was the first time in 10 games that Seattle has been held scoreless.

Seattle has been the highest scoring club in the MLS (2.38 PPG) post Leagues Cup, but Minnesota United's strong defense makes them one of the league's best road teams. The Loons have a +8 goal differential in away outings, securing 30 points from 17 games.

The Loons won two straight shootouts to win their first round series over RSL last year - which makes +410 a tempting longshot paired with the Minnesota United +1 (-118).
