It took about three months longer than usual for the confetti to fall, but Bayern Munich was finally able to lift the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League crown in late August. At the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the German powerhouse has opened as the 4-to-1 favorites for next year’s Champions League, followed by Manchester City (+450) and Liverpool (+700).
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has just released their updated 2020 MLS Cup odds, and LAFC is the 6-to-1 favorite to lift the trophy, followed by Seattle and Toronto at 8-to-1. Since 2003, the team that earned the Supporters’ Shield (most regular season points) has only won the MLS Cup three times. Regular season dominance has not translated well into playoff success.
The defending champs won’t go away. After the Celtics flexed their muscles early in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Toronto Raptors have clawed back to force a Game 7 on Friday night. As of 2:00 p.m. on Friday, Boston is a 3-point favorite at most books with the total at 204.5. That total is ten points lower than where these two teams opened for Game 1 last week.
