Favorite Lines:

Indy Eleven to win (-110, ★★★): Invincible at home. Untouchable in the biggest games. Spurred on by 10,000 of the loudest fans in the NASL.

Rayo OKC +1 (-150, ★★★★★): Rayo OKC was one of only two teams (FC Edmonton) to earn a point in New York in 2016. They led the league in away points per game (1.44), and had the lowest road losing percentage (31.25%). They also enter this game unbeaten in 10, and ended the season with a positive goal differential against the Cosmos (4-2) -- the only team to do so while playing in New York twice.

This line is simply disrespectful. Almost as disrespectful as PRO assigning the referee who gave OKC three red cards in this fixture earlier in the season.

Predictions:

We're tracking these predictions in a points-based system throughout the season: 3 points for correct game result, 1 point for each correct score (by team), and 1 additional point for a perfect game.
