There's Major League Soccer action at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday, when the Houston Dynamo will be back in front of a home crowd, a crowd that may soon start to show some displeasure at a team that has won just one of the last nine league games. As things stand, the hosts are nicely poised for the postseason, but if their dip in form continues, that could easily change. Sitting pretty in third place in the Western Conference is FC Dallas. The visitors travel across the state having won five of their last seven. 

At odds of +160, 'FC Dallas to Score Over 1.5 Goals' rates as a solid betting option. The hosts have lost their way defensively of late, conceding plenty of goals, even on home soil, while the visitors pack more of a punch than the early lines would have us believe. Taking the visitors to do some significant damage is the way to go, for sure.
