The model makes M. Kessler the favorite with a 50% win probability, against C. McNally's 50% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @2.00; the offered odds are around @2.07 (a 48% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #48 vs #70 (better ranked); 4/10 in recent matches; 1-0 in favor; 10d vs opponent's 6d.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 50%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~64% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 50 out of every 100 times McNally 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.
