MLS

(209833) Seattle Sounders at (209834) Columbus Crew

Without player absences, this line is Columbus -1.0.  But with the international break, Columbus is without Cucho Hernandez, their leading scorer and playmaker which obviously is a huge loss.  They are also missing both their first and second choice keeper, along with Moreira and Farsi on defense.  That is a lot of holes to fill, but this team is deep and stacked and still have the likes of Diego Rossi and Maximilian Arfsten as great attacking options.  It will be interesting to see what they do in net however.

Seattle will be without a couple of their own stars in Nouhou and Vargas on defense and midfield, two areas very important to be gelled with your teammates against Columbus' attack.

Bottom line, I think the price, and assumed line adjustment, is too much of a correction here.

TAKE COLUMBUS ML or -0.5

Line Parameter: 4% to -125, 3% to -140
