If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the no-bull take.
LA Galaxy (MERLIN) at 1.77 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the H2H GG League (2x4 min.) this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Columbus Crew (MADNESS)’s 3.4 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
