Well, well, well—sometimes the goals come, just not from the team you expect. Orlando City rolled into PayPal Park and absolutely dismantled San Jose 4-0, delivering the over 3.5 we called but making the Earthquakes look like a rec league side in the process. DarkHorse's pick? Clean hit. Four goals is four goals, even if San Jose forgot to show up for their own party.

The math was sound: San Jose averaging over two goals per home game, Orlando leaking nearly four on the road. We expected a shootout. Instead, we got a one-sided beatdown as Orlando's attack—modest 1.53 goals per game coming in—decided tonight was the night to finally click. San Jose's vaunted home scoring touch? Vanished. Their defense, which was supposed to benefit from Orlando's road struggles, got torched instead.

Credit where it's due: Orlando flipped the script and turned their road woes into a statement win. The over cashed comfortably, but if you had San Jose to contribute even a consolation goal, you're wondering what happened to that 2.29 home average. Sometimes the total hits and the narrative dies. That's soccer. That's why we bet numbers, not stories. Four-nil. Over hits. Next.
