Odds to lead the US in goals:

United States World Cup Best Bet: Balogun Top Goalscorer (+380)

Balogun should be the top striker for the US, and unlike his main competition in this market -- Christian Pulisic (+340) -- Balogun will likely spend the vast majority of his time operating centrally in prime goal-scoring position.

Playing his club ball for Monaco, Balogun is coming off a quality season, netting 19 goals and five assists in 43 games across Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and the UEFA Champions League.

A player with blistering pace, Balogun can be lethal on counters and is also a threat in the air.

I think he's an intriguing bet at these odds and may be in store for a breakout summer.
