Houston has conceded in seven of their last eight games and nine of their last 11, which makes 'Both Teams to Score' a reliable option in their matches, even though their offense has scored in most of their recent games.

What factors suggest a high-scoring game between San Diego Loyal and Nashville SC?

San Diego has cooled off recently with only one win in their last few games, while Nashville has posted back-to-back clean sheets. The attacking potential of both teams, especially with star players, suggests that a high-scoring game could occur, but a tight draw is also possible.

What are the key considerations regarding Messi's potential absence for Miami's match against Cincinnati?

Messi’s potential suspension, which could happen if he wasn’t designated with an injury for the All-Star game, is a critical factor. If Messi is absent or rested, Miami’s attack might be impacted, but their strong form with Messi in the lineup makes them dangerous offensively.

Why was Philadelphia vs Colorado not included in the final parlay selections?
