MLS Picks

Dallas v Houston

Texas derby to start the season is a treat for the local soccer fans. Dallas was a weak team last year while Houston was a quality side. The off season loss of Stuart Holden, who moved to Bolton in England, will hurt Houston but they should still be able to start the season with a win. Result: 2

San Jose v Salt Lake
Result: X2

New York v Chicago
The Red Bulls were a poor excuse for a team last year. A change in coaching, management and the addition of a state of the art stadium will energize the fans in the northeast. All this will not be enough to stop an established team from Chicago.
Result: 2

Kansas City v Washington
Result: 1

Los Angeles v New England
LA lost the celebrity superstar in David Beckham to injury while on duty with Milan. They still the best player in MLS, Landon Donovan. New England has some new faces but is a solid team as always.
Result: X
