Sporting Kansas City vs LA Galaxy

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

LA Galaxy's dominant 1.94 xG advantage and 54% win probability make the away victory the model's sharpest edge despite low home confidence.
