Each pick's figure is the one published with it before kickoff. It comes from a separate calculation, so a pick on the result can show a different number from the win/draw/win split above.

What we said pre-match

"Nashville's 0.89 expected-goals advantage and creator Hany Mukhtar's 26% share of team chances drive the Nashville SC or draw forecast to 82%, with the hosts' 1.83 xG rendering a draw or home win the model's high-confidence call."
