A majority of my games I'm "slightly favored"

Is there any reason for this? I do have a positive ratio of wins but I feel like it hurts me because if I don't play consistent for a set amount of games, I'm going to lose a lot more points that usual. Is it because the system thinks that my MMR isn't where it's supposed to be? Is it because of the season lock?

I've read that and nowhere does it explain the frequency of "slightly favored" or "favored" guesses in the matchmaking system. As it stands, I've been slightly favored in a majority of my games and I was hoping someone could give me an explanation why.

It's because you have the right state of mind and consistent ability to overcome your opponent.
The warmth from your fingers transmits data into the keys of your mechanical and technological equipment and let's your program: StarCraft II acknowledge your strong ability to transcend any challenges it throws your way. It calculates the probability of your achivement to vanquish your opponent and thus supportively notes that you are "slightly favoured" by equating great mind with great physical strength to succeed.
