Money Line (ML)
BET on TORONTO FC-135.
FC Cincinnati is actually averaging more points per game on the road than at home. That should change as the season progresses.
Toronto, on the other hand, has lost just once at home, a 4-1 loss at the hands of the New York Red Bulls.
While Toronto may have a horrible defense that has allowed numerous goals, FCC’s offense has gone scoreless in half of their games. In addition, in the two away games that FCC did not lose, they have fewer expected goals.
You’re running a little late as the temp rose to -135 from -111 overnight. FCC is the worst team in the East, and at this value, I bet they have problems away from home.
Plus/Minus (O/U)
LEAN toward MINOR 2.5 (+155).
This is strictly a value game. While Toronto’s offense has scored at will, their expected goals have not kept pace.
He has scored 8 goals in his last 3 games but only had 1.9 expected goals. He has capitalized on opportunities but hasn’t had many of them. Toronto is t-16 in shooting.
In addition, FCC have had some important games in which they have scored numerous goals, but that has not been their usual style.
With the way Toronto has scored a lot of goals from shots on goal and FCC has struggled in a number of games, for this value I’ll take the Less than 2.5 (+155).
