If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Lexington SC at 4.3 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the USL, Championship this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
Monterey Bay’s 7.6 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
