Bet
Considering the teams' recent form and statistics, I would recommend a Home Win for Vancouver Whitecaps at odds of 2.05. The Whitecaps have been impressive at BC Place Stadium, and their strong goal-scoring record combined with Houston's slightly leaky defense on the road makes them a good bet to take all three points.
The potential winnings may not be as high as some other options, but Vancouver's solid form and home advantage make them a relatively safe choice.
