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

"Over 1.5 Goals is the high-confidence call at 83%, driven by Vancouver's 1.95 xG advantage and a 0.74 xG gap that favors a multi-goal affair despite Real Salt Lake's home field."
