Is this the official MLS ranking?

No. Ranked XI is an independent national table. MLS publishes its own standings; this page places Seattle Sounders on one scale that runs from MLS to the grassroots so clubs in different leagues can be compared.

What does a rating of 1892 mean?

It is an Elo-style strength estimate from real league standings, calibrated across leagues on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results. Higher is stronger. It is a measure of form and level, not a prediction that Seattle Sounders would win any particular match.

Why is a club from another league listed as a rival?

"Nearest rated rivals" means nearest by distance, not by league. Because every club sits on one scale, the closest club to Seattle Sounders is shown whatever division it plays in.

Is this betting advice?

No. Ranked XI publishes ratings and probabilities as data. Nothing on this site is betting advice.
