Eric Bailly (Columbus Crew SC) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+3000)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing In this intriguing clash between D.C. United and Columbus Crew SC, Eric Bailly might not be the first name that springs to mind for an anytime goalscorer bet, but hear me out. While his recent scoring record shows a modest average of 0.2 goals in away games, there’s a compelling narrative brewing here. Columbus is known for their attacking fluidity, which could lead to set pieces—Bailly, standing tall at the back, often finds himself in prime positions during these situations. His average of 0.6 shots away suggests he’s getting into the right areas, even if the net has eluded him recently. Plus, with odds at 31, a sprinkle on Bailly could pay off handsomely if he capitalizes on one of those opportunities. With the game dynamics favoring open play, don’t overlook the potential for Bailly to surprise us all.
