Postmatch editorial

Lazio made the numbers look right

The final score was Lazio 2-1 Pisa. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.

Pisa struck first through Stefano Moreo 23', but Lazio recovered and flipped the match.

Before kickoff, our model made Lazio the likeliest result at 53.7%, while the median bookmaker line priced Lazio at 58.8% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (56.7%), and that angle missed.
