Philladelphia had difficulties in all the games so far - the defense is in difficulties almost always and the shaky goalie McMath does not ease the situation. Given the circumstances and the performances shown by Phillies, it is surprising to see them as favs. 

Vancouver were stopped by DC United, but Phillies have much weaker defense. Vancouver has quality upfront - Le Taux is the man to watch out for, as he is the creative engine of the side. Even though Hassli is on the slow side and will find it difficult to participate in a well organized counter without slowing it, odds on Whitecaps are just too good.

Tip: Vancouver +0.5
