    • Confirmed XIs were posted at 4:00 AM PDT; coverage is clean with has_xg true and 10 xG games for each side; lambdas are Rayo 1.35, Elche 1.42.
    • ProphetX comparison contracts lean Rayo: 2-way Rayo -280 and 90-minute Rayo YES -124, so the play is model-led rather than consensus-led.
    Deep Book
      • Most likely loss: Rayo Vallecano wins by one or more goals; the warehouse model does not provide a margin distribution.

      • Rayo list Raúl de Tomás, Augusto Batalla and Luiz Felipe out; Elche list Marc Aguado and Yago Santiago out, while the confirmed replacement XI is now known.
      • ProphetX had already moved the total from opening 2.5 under +102 to the current +120, so some under sentiment was priced before the lineup.
      Deep Book
      • Both sides are quoted and the under clears the $300 size gate. Price is inside the -250 to +300 band.
      • LEAN. Flow is strong, but only 43.0% of depth is at the best rung; this is not concentrated refill evidence.
      • Most likely loss: three or more goals; the 2.5 line has no push protection.

      Snapp Decision of the Day
      • Elche's away opp-adjusted xGA is 1.33 versus Rayo's home 1.75.
      • Rayo's L5 is better at 2-1-2 versus Elche's 1-1-3.
      Number Earned
      • Warehouse Dixon-Coles model makes Elche 38.4%; I haircut that to 34.5% for model uncertainty.
      • Kalshi Elche YES costs 21¢; my 34.5% estimate implies roughly 13.5 percentage points of edge.
      • DraftKings and Pinnacle strongly oppose the model, pricing Elche around +360/+364; Kalshi's own mid-price is only 20.5¢.

      • Control gate passes: field-tilt gap is 2.4 percentage points and PPDA gap is 2.04, both inside the 10pp/4.0 limits.
      • Most likely loss: Rayo's 7-3-0 home profile and Elche's 2-4-4 away profile convert the home edge into a Rayo win.

      • PROJECTION; symmetric BTTS case: both defenses carry elevated xG-against, Rayo 1.82, Elche 1.56 per match.
      • Elche's attack is the weaker side at 1.09 oppadj xGF; a finishing or chance-creation failure makes BTTS-NO the live failure mode.

      Why it likes it
      • A rough Poisson inversion of Kalshi's 54.5% over price implies about 2.86 goals, modestly above the 2.78 xG estimate.
      • no same-rung sharp check; Pinnacle's live 2.75 total is off-line and excluded from the comparison.
      • Pressing inputs are proxy-based: Elche PPDA 11.71 and Rayo 9.67, with dangerous-attacks field-tilt proxies rather than robust event data.
