00:02 - Let's take a look at the MLS's top goal scorer,
00:05 including the playoffs.
00:07 This is courtesy of BetMGM,
00:09 and we'll take a look at the odds here,
00:11 because Messi at this point is the favorite
00:14 to have the most goals, which is sort of incredible,
00:16 considering where he started off this season,
00:18 which was nowhere, plus 350.
00:20 And then you have some other names here
00:22 you'll have to familiar with, make me familiar with.
00:24 Mukhtar Giakoumakis, hopefully I got that right.
00:28 Denise Buanga, Luciano Acosta, and Christian Espinosa.
00:32 Hey, I think I nailed most of those names.
00:34 I think I got close on most of those names.
00:36 But look, this is not a guarantee, Kyle.
00:38 Messi's only plus 350.
00:40 The others are very close.
00:41 And I'm gonna guess that if you're gonna bet Messi,
00:44 this is again, protection from the sports books,
00:46 because they know so many people
00:47 are gonna wanna bet this.
00:48 - Yep, and I think it's gonna be tougher
00:50 for him to finish his top goal scorer
00:52 than it will be for Inter-Miami to make the playoffs.
00:55 There's a window for them to make the playoffs.
00:57 They're gonna have to win a lot of games,
00:59 but the window is there.
01:01 This, I mean, he's, right now,
01:03 if no one else scores a goal,
01:05 Messi's gotta get 12 goals in 11 games.
01:08 He's clearly shown that he can do it,
01:10 but he's gonna need rest.
01:12 The other guys are gonna keep scoring.
01:14 So I just don't think this is gonna happen.
01:16 He's probably gonna have to score around
01:20 16 goals in 11 games remaining
01:25 to be in the mix.
01:27 And that's if Mukhtar gets, what, four more goals?
01:31 I mean, it's just, it's tough to see it happening.
01:35 But like you said, the books have to protect themselves.
01:38 Mukhtar is a goal scorer and a creator.
01:41 So, you know, he's an incredible player.
01:43 He's awesome.
01:45 But he can set up goals as well as score them.
01:48 So that's a knock on him.
01:49 You've got Iacomacos, who is the striker for Atlanta.
01:53 Buongos, the striker for LAFC,
01:55 who they'll see shortly.
01:57 So there's a lot of players in the mix here.
01:59 It's been a low scoring year for MLS.
02:02 That's kind of helping Messi in this sense.
02:05 13 goals at this stage to be the leader,
02:07 kind of weird, but we'll see.
02:09 We'll see.
