Ricky's 7* play on HOU.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Houston Dynamo is 4-1 in their last 5 home matches.

- Houston Dynamo had scored 10 goals in their last 3 home matches.

- Sporting KC is 0-3-2 in their last 5 road matches.

Verdict: The value is on the home underdog.
