Incomplete BetMGM endpoint

Hello,

Just started testing out the API and noticed that not all of the BetMGM spreads are being pulled into the endpoints. For example,
There is a Pittsburgh Steelers game on Sep 11 2022 that has an BetMGM spread as shown here:

But it isn't showing up in the API pull here:

LACK OF REGION

This is a suggestion for introducing ISO-3 countries into the JSON schema. It would be ideal if we get to know the countries where the games are being played
