Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Leyton Orient 1-3 Barnsley. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Makenzie Kirk put the first mark on the match 15', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Barnsley led Shots on target 3-7. Barnsley also shaded Total shots 7-16.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Leyton Orient the favourite at 48.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
