What could break the pick

Portland Fire come in hot on a 1-game win streak — recent form the season-long rating hasn't fully priced in. Even strong favorites lose outright about once in three tries at this probability. Starting lineups, rotation minutes, and rest move real outcomes in ways a rating system can’t see.
