Open Play- Pressing tilt nudges the build to a 2.90 fair total: PPDA 12.94/11.78, field tilt .483/.577; three rest days each are neutral.
- 25% Kelly reference is 4.5% of bankroll; published stake is 1 unit, with moderate sizing.
- The xG window is moderate, not deep: only 10 games per team, so the 2.90 estimate has meaningful sampling error.
Snapp Decision of the Day- Nashville's 2.15 away xG and SJ's 1.40 home xG still sum below the 3.5-goal threshold.
- Nashville's strong away record creates scoring threat, but the high 3.5 line leaves room for a three-goal finish.
- Nashville's attack is strong: 24 goals in its 10-game away sample and 2.15 away xG.
