Is this the official MLS ranking?

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

What does a rating of 1877 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 New York Red Bulls 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 New York Red Bulls 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.
