Carolina is fifth in the regular season standings 200 points behind the first-place LA Thieves. However, they have struggled recently and have lost four in a row leading up to their qualifiers match on Friday. The Royal Ravens have lost seven of their last ten going back to late March.
The Ultra have covered this spread in five of their last seven matches. In Carloina’s seven recent losses, six of them were decided by at least two games. These teams have only met once this season with Toronto earning the 3-1 victory. Toronto is a -235 favorite to win outright, so taking the spread offers a much better value.
