Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Austin 27%, the draw 22%, Seattle Sounders 51%. It finished Austin 3–1 Seattle Sounders.
Seattle Sounders' rating gap outweighs Austin's home ground — Seattle Sounders are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Seattle Sounders the lean. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Seattle Sounders at 51%?
Seattle Sounders sit 232 points higher on our strength rating — 1443 to 1676. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 5,971 such games. Seattle Sounders sit -0.37 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.8% of 2,307 such games where the class table expected 36.1%. The 300 most similar past games finished 24–24–52.
Why only 51%?
Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.5% of 5,024 games vs 44.9% across all 98,229 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,692. The goals environment takes 2.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Seattle Sounders average 10 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 232 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Austin scored +0.39 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,700 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.2% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
