48 hours until midweek MLS mayhem ensues… 15 glorious matches with quite a few teams on their last legs after the sprint they’ve been on with Leagues Cup the past couple of weeks. Should be fireworks!

We’re backing the Spirit to pick up three points in this match that’s kicking off momentarily. They’ve been a level above everyone since their semi-slow start… 11 wins in their last 13, 6 in their last 7. Injury bug biting this SD side hard.

One match in MLS tonight… and it screams victory for the home side.
NYC has beaten Toronto six straight times, and five straight times on home turf. Toronto is on a gnarly 12 match winless streak, and they haven’t won a road match since early March.
NYC has won both matches since the restart, too

NWSL projections weren’t too shabby tonight!
Nailed the outcomes of all 3, but overestimated the goal totals on the first two as 26 shots on target between the 2 matches yielded just 2 goals 🤷♂️

What will we get from the 🐐 in Wednesday’s semi-final?
Thus far, he’s had a goal contribution in every match in this World Cup.
His xG, xGOT, and xA metrics are all mighty healthy.
If we’re flipping a coin on Wednesday, we’re expecting it to come up “Messi goal contribution,” even in a loss.
