The model makes N. Mejia the favorite with a 58% win probability, against L. Draxl's 42% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.72; the offered odds are around @2.20 (a 45% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #122 vs #216 (better ranked); model 58% vs market 45% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 6/10 in recent matches; 4 matches in the last 2 weeks.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 58%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~65% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 42 out of every 100 times Draxl wins. The model also tends to agree with the market, so the odds already capture almost all the edge: don't take it as a sure value.
