T.M. Selection: Charlotte/Atlanta United OVER 2.75 -112

1) I really like the way this one sets up to be a higher-scoring affair, rather than a lower-scoring defensive battle and the value is there with an over number of less than 3 goals in the markets.

2) Atlanta United off the upset win over Inter Miami setting them up to get surprised on defense here at home as the desperate visitors will come out fired up and on point to open up this one.

3) Atlanta United is one of the higher scoring teams in MLS when at home and has scored 15 in 8 home matches and Atlanta home matches have averaged 3 goals this season.

4) Charlotte enters off a 3-1 loss and sees this as the perfect time to spring an upset as they catch Atlanta off an upset. Atlanta has revenge for a 3-1 loss in last meeting and so we can expect this sense of competition to translate into a high-scoring "shootout" once it's all said and done. For the 4th time in 5 meetings this match totals at least 3 goals!

T.M. Prediction: 2-2 Draw
