Every market we call on this match

Odds shown are implied by the model's own probability, not quoted from a bookmaker. Markets missing from this list are ones the numbers did not clear the bar on.

The reasoning

On the match result it splits close to evenly, 41 percent Colorado Rapids, 25 percent the draw and 34 percent Chicago Fire. That is a fixture the model will not call a winner in, and the honest read is that the value sits in the other markets rather than on the result. The model expects roughly 1.6 goals from Colorado Rapids and 1.5 from Chicago Fire, a combined 3.1, which is around the average for a competitive fixture. Two markets clear our bar on this fixture: Over 1.5 goals at 80 percent and Colorado Rapids or Chicago Fire at 75 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 1-1, though at 10.9 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on match result, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here, which means the numbers did not clear the bar rather than that we forgot to look. A market with no pick is the model saying it sees no edge.
