Over 181 matches (Aug 2019 – Oct 2026), L Smith drew 54 where the draw model expected 48.5 from those particular fixtures — about 6 more, or 0.9 standard errors, which is what the model expected, near enough.

A flat league average would have expected 47.9 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
