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 the model has Sanfrecce Hiroshima at 66 percent, with the draw at 20 percent. That is a clear lean rather than a coin toss. The model expects roughly 2.4 goals from Sanfrecce Hiroshima and 1.0 from Shimizu S-Pulse, a combined 3.4, which points to an open game rather than a tight one. Four markets clear our bar on this fixture, led by Sanfrecce Hiroshima or draw at 85 percent, Sanfrecce Hiroshima (draw no bet) at 85 percent and Over 1.5 goals at 80 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 2-1, though at 9.7 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on 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.
