- Market-implied
- Vancouver Whitecaps 90%
Market-implied: Vancouver Whitecaps 90%. The moneyline pair (LA +950 / VAN -475) is de-vigged two-way into a fair probability, and Vancouver Whitecaps comes out as the market favorite at 90% (price -475). This is the market's number — the same anchor the Sportslyx board uses — and it is not a Sportslyx pick. The members-only breakdown is written separately from these inputs and graded on its own.
Soccer is priced on the three-way 1X2 line (draw +550); the draw is removed before the two-way de-vig, which is also why a drawn match is graded as a push rather than a loss.

AI Match Analysis
What the Sportslyx breakdown for LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps covers — and why none of it is printed here.
The members-only breakdown is written by a language model from the hydrated data package and the market line at the time it is generated. For Soccer it weighs league table and form, goals and shot data, rest and fixture congestion, market odds and movement and head-to-head history and states which side the numbers favor; the read is later graded against the result. AI breakdowns are pre-generated for the upcoming slate and cached; the win probability on the card is derived from the current market line. The breakdown text is not rewritten when the line moves. A data-quality tier — rich, partial or weak — is passed to the model so thin data is flagged rather than hidden, and the percentage shown anywhere on Sportslyx is a market-derived win probability, not a model score.
Nothing from that breakdown appears on this public page: not the side, not the data-quality tier, not the text. What you can check without an account is how past reads performed — the Pick Tracker publishes hit rate and ROI at a flat stake by month and by sport, and the AI sports analysis page explains how the model is prompted and where it fails.

Grading
Prediction Tracking
How a read on LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps is settled and where the result is published.
The read is graded on the 1X2 result: the picked side winning is a win, the other side winning is a loss, and a draw is a push. That rule is stated openly because it flatters the hit rate compared with a true draw-no-bet price, and it applies to every soccer read in the record.
Tracked picks close 15 minutes after the start, so a read cannot be added once the match is under way. Postponed matches are removed from the record rather than counted. Every settled read lands in a calendar-month (UTC) record with hit rate — wins divided by wins plus losses, pushes excluded — and ROI at a flat stake per read. One period, one set of rules, across the whole product.
The same settlement rules apply to your own tracked picks inside the workspace: add LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps to a watchlist, log a read, and it is graded automatically from the official result, with your net result shown in money at your own stake. The public record is on the Pick Tracker, the per-sport history on Soccer predictions, and the full rule set on the Methodology page.
