How often the favourite won, how often the home side won, and how often the total went over — across 4,475 played MLS games in AccuScore's archive. None of this is our model. The favourite is whichever side the bookmakers priced shorter, and the result is the result.
Seasons run August to May.

Across 4,317 priced MLS games in AccuScore's archive, the favourite won 50.2% of the time. The favourite is whichever side the bookmakers made shorter, not whichever side we projected.
Home teams won 49.3% of 4,475 games in the archive, with 25.3% drawn.
Of 4,334 games with a posted total, 43.5% went over. A rate near half is what an efficient market looks like — the number is interesting when a season moves away from it.
