Why the model likes this

Eric Bailly (Columbus Crew SC) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+3000)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Columbus Crew SC gear up to face D.C. United, all eyes should be on Eric Bailly as a sneaky pick for the Anytime Goalscorer market. While his recent goal stats might not scream value—averaging just 0.2 goals away—there’s more to the story. Bailly has been more active on the road, with an average of 0.6 shots per away match, suggesting he’s not afraid to venture forward and take risks. Columbus will be looking to capitalize on D.C. United’s defensive vulnerabilities, and Bailly’s presence in the box could turn into a golden opportunity. With a hit rate of 1 in his last five away games, he might just surprise us. At those odds, the potential for a payout makes this an enticing wager. Sometimes, it’s the under-the-radar players that make the difference—keep an eye on Bailly to snag a goal when it counts.

Quick answer

What are MLS player props?

MLS player props are bets on an individual player’s stats in a Major League Soccer match, not the final score. Examples include goals, assists, shots, shots on target, passes, tackles, and cards. Bet Better estimates a true probability for each prop and compares it to sportsbook odds to highlight potential value.

FAQ

MLS player props, explained

What exactly is an MLS player prop bet?
An MLS player prop bet is a wager on a specific player stat in a Major League Soccer match rather than the match result. Typical markets include goals, assists, shots, shots on target, passes, tackles, and cards.
How does Bet Better work out the chance to win?
Probability is the model’s estimate of the true chance of an outcome. The value call compares that estimate to the chance the price suggests from sportsbook odds. A a gap in your favour indicates the odds may be underpricing the true chance.
