Renee, to your point, it seems like you can never count out Messi.
00:03
And right now, Inter-Miami CF is plus 410 to win,
00:07
followed by the teams that have better records,
00:08
Cincinnati, Vancouver, San Diego, and Philadelphia.
00:11
And I guess that just speaks to the star power that Messi is.
00:15
Do you think that those odds are fair?
00:17
Should they be the favorite?
00:18
I think so.
00:19
I think what the odds are counting on is that teams like the Philadelphia Union
00:23
and San Diego in the West,
00:25
those teams that are top of the standings for their respective conferences
00:27
won't be able to maintain this throughout the rest of the season.
00:30
As I mentioned, a team like the Union and Nashville got a lot of youth,
00:33
a lot of new pieces that they are bringing in.
00:35
And I think the expectation is at some point it's going to catch up to them
00:38
and that they will maybe drop off.
00:40
But a team like Inter-Miami, who's been top of the MLS
00:43
ever since Messi stepped foot on this team, you can never count them out.
00:47
They've got the veterans.
00:48
They've got him, Busquets, Jordi Alba, a number of all-stars,
00:51
a number of guys that have won before.
00:52
So they understand the longevity of the season
00:55
and how to be a top team when it counts most at the end of the regular season.
00:59
So I think it's the expectation that there's going to be a switch in the table
01:02
as we're about halfway through the regular season,
01:04
that some of those teams that are top might drop off and vice versa,
01:08
teams like Orlando and others that are maybe middle of the pack
01:12
that might make a jump.
