Suffering back-to-back defeats was not part of the Whitecaps' plan, but thanks to their win last time out, the Western Conference leaders remain in a rather healthy position. They're five points clear at the top and are clearly heading for the play-offs in great shape. The same cannot be said for Saturday visitors, who will turn up at BC Place outside of the postseason palces in the Eastern Conference, though all is not lost as they're only four points off.
If we look at the early lines ahead of this game, we can see that Louis Munteanu is priced at -135 (Fanatics) to register a shot on target, and if we scratch beneath the surface just a little, we can confirm that such odds are too good to turn down. After all, DC's Romanian forward has certainly been active in terms of shooting in recent weeks, while he doesn't typically go many games without hitting the target, which he's now done in four of his last five MLS appearances.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs DC United Prediction
Is Louis Munteanu being priced accurately enough to register a shot on target? Given the fact that he's a frequent shooter, coupled with the fact that he's only failed to hit the target in one of his last six away appearances, the answer must be no. He'd be much more accurately priced at -175, so if we can get odds of -135, which are available at Fanatics at the time of writing, we should definitely take advantage, or rather, those looking for value should do so.
