Market context

Boston and Seattle meet in an MLB regular-season game, and the market will pay out only on the official result once the game is completed. With the current crowd-implied probability pinned at **100% YES**, the pricing is behaving like a pure event-completion bet rather than a live view on winner selection, which is often what you see when traders expect the listed team state to be mechanically resolved rather than continuously repriced against score updates.

For calibration, the broader head-to-head record is not decisive on its own, but it gives useful context for programme-driven trading: AiScore’s historical series data shows Boston with 110 wins to Seattle’s 76, while ESPN’s game page for this matchup lists both clubs as close in aggregate offence and run production this season, with Seattle holding the edge in total runs and home runs.[8][1] The most recent completed meeting in the pair’s June series was a Red Sox win, 5-1, according to CBS Sports, which is the kind of fresh comparable that copy-trading systems often use to confirm whether a market is reacting to a one-off result or a broader form shift.[6]

The main catalysts to watch are simple but operationally important: whether the game starts on time, whether it is suspended and resumed, and whether any weather or scheduling change pushes settlement beyond the expected window. For a bot or conditional-order workflow, the key dependency is the official final statistics source, because postponed games keep the market open until completion, while a cancellation with no make-up or a tie would force a 50-50 resolution under the market rules. ESPN’s live game listing and CBS’s box score feed are the obvious state checks for programme logic when polling for completion, score finality, and any venue or date changes.[1][6]

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
