I read an interesting article in Gambling Magazine this month (the things you'll do to pass the time on an Easyjet flight to London) about the disproportionate number of home wins in the MLS and the bigger odds that are available.
Some of the reasoning was attributed to the distance traveled for some of the games, for example San Jose Earthquakes can travel over 3,000km to play Chicago Fire.
Anyway the upshot is that in the last 5 seasons the mean average of home wins in the MLS is 44%, versus 39% in the EPL. Also odds on games featuring top v bottom were around 1/2, when if that was say Man Utd v Wolves, United would what? 1/3, 1/4 maybe.
Just thought I'd flag it up as one worth watching.
