Philadelphia didn't win the sprint, but it could win the marathon. The Union was criticized for letting go of starters this spring, then plagued by national-team omissions and Tai Baribo's saga in the summer. But the club has emerged with a points lead in the Eastern Conference, and a healthy striker to go with it.
What better time for the schedule to soften? Philadelphia faces a litany of MLS also-rans over the next few weeks, starting with last-place CF Montreal in tonight's tilt at Subaru Park beginning at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Philadelphia's odds to win tonight's game are nearly 1-to-2 in favor of the Union. If those odds are inflated, it's because CF Montreal is undervalued as a resilient road spoiler. To maintain the conference lead, Philadelphia must avoid Orlando City's fate of drawing unexpectedly with L'Impact last weekend.

Philadelphia Union vs CF Montreal Predictions and Picks
It could look as though Philly's bullet train is about to smash Montreal's little toy car at Subaru Park. But the game's speculators should not anticipate as much of a possession edge for Philadelphia as would be the usual against a side like Montreal. Philadelphia could have a solid moneyline and a shaky bet ATS.
Philly's midfield is better without the ball than with it. Liam Duckstein of Tips explains that the Union's chaotic attacks are effective due to "fast transitions," adding that the club's ball retention "isn't always pristine, but they outmuscle most opponents." Montreal would be glad to be "outmuscled" in a draw. L'Impact's resilient tactics could prompt Philadelphia to lead yet another contest in midfield fouls.
Look for Philadelphia and Montreal's under-total-goals pick to prevail tonight, and don't be shy of exact-score propositions on the Philadelphia Union winning by scores of 1-0 or 2-0.
