Seattle Sounders fell to Portland Timbers 1-5 in an MLS contest where our model backed the Sounders at 64% probability, a pick that did not land. The Timbers dominated despite Seattle's recent form showing two wins and two draws across their last five matches. Portland's attacking threat materialized decisively, with the visitors' last five record of two wins, one draw and two losses offering little indication of the scale of this result.
