10* UNDER KC/Vancouver (TOW)

Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but we're anticipating a much tighter and ultimately lower-scoring "under" here finally on Wednesday nght in the PNW. KC comes to town off back-to-back victories, beating Dallas 3-2 at home, before then holding on for the 3-1 victory at San Jose last week. It plays with revenge here after a 2-1 home loss to the Caps back in May, and note that Sporting KC has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge a home loss vs. an opponent. Vancouver has gone 3-0-1 in its last four and is off the 4-1 win at St. Louis, but we're expecting the home side to control the pace of this one at home on Wednesday night. We say this MLS battle in Vancouver on Wednesday night will be a "war of attrition," where each side sits back and waits for the other to make the first mistake and because of that, we're indeed making a play on the "under!"
