Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes

Bawler runs a Poisson model on rolling xG, normalised across leagues, adjusted for venue and injuries. This page shows the full chain — every number you can see is one we used.

Why the model calls it this way

San Jose's 47% win probability and dominant 1.94 xG edge makes Away Win the superior value against Portland's anemic 1.42 expected output.
