MLS: Vancouver vs. St. Louis Picks — Whitecaps Set to Bounce Back to Form (Aug 23)

The pressure will be on the hosts at BC Place on Saturday, but can they bounce back to winning ways? You can find our Vancouver vs. St. Louis picks here.

Despite sitting third in the Western Conference standings, the Whitecaps have failed to win in their last two matches in the MLS. Last time out, they could only play out a 1-1 draw against the ten men of Houston Dynamo.

St. Louis will likely be playing with no pressure on their shoulders this weekend, as they are already out of the playoff hunt. They returned to MLS action last weekend, losing 3-2 on the road against Chicago.
