The model makes B. Bonzi the favorite with a 52% win probability, against R. Hijikata's 48% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.93; the offered odds are around @1.98 (a 51% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #109 vs #85; 6/10 in recent matches; 2 wins in a row; 4 matches in the last 2 weeks.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 52%, 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 48 out of every 100 times Hijikata 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.
