00:02 Right now, FC Cincinnati is plus 430.
00:05 As you mentioned, they're the best team to win.
00:07 Maybe this will change this weekend if Inter Miami ends up beating them.
00:11 Los Angeles FC is six to one.
00:13 Philadelphia Union plus 750, Inter Miami plus 850, St.
00:17 Louis City is ten to one.
00:19 And then the New England Revolution, once upon a time, one of the top teams in MLS,
00:22 I guess they've fallen back this year, are at 11 to one.
00:26 So I suppose if we knew that Inter Miami was gonna get in,
00:30 they would be the favorite, or they'd be up there with the favorites.
00:34 Can he get them in?
00:35 I guess let's start there.
00:37 >> It's a massive test, a massive mountain for them to climb.
00:40 They're 14 points back with 11 games to go.
00:47 So that's 33 possible points, and you need teams above you to drop a lot.
00:54 It's just a huge task.
00:56 I think from what we've seen, they can probably do it.
00:59 The best part for Inter Miami is they play, I believe it's five of the six
01:05 teams, excuse me, four of the five teams in front of them who are not in
01:10 a playoff position, and then they play three of the four teams
01:15 who are in the bottom four playoff positions.
01:17 So they have games against the teams in front of them coming up, but
01:22 they need a lot of help along with, they have to be just about perfect
01:27 the rest of the way, so it's a huge, huge test.
01:30 And Jordy Alba's 34, Sergio Busquets is 35, Lionel Messi's 36.
01:37 Tata Martino has got to get them rest at some point, but
01:42 when, every game is critical from here on out.
01:46 So it's gonna be a mountain to climb for them, but
01:51 the market thinks they can do it.
01:53 You mentioned books protecting themselves.
01:55 How about we saw Lionel Messi's odds to score a goal in tomorrow's game,
02:01 open at about minus 140, and then immediately crash.
02:05 The odds dropped to minus 165 in like an hour.
02:09 I mean, it was insane.
02:11 So books are just seeing huge volume on Inter Miami and Messi.
02:19 And so far it's cashed every time.
02:22 So what can't they do?
02:26 We'll see, but the task in front of them is enormous.
