New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The Yankees host the Guardians on 10 June at 1:10PM ET in a regular-season matchup. The 95% crowd-implied probability reflects the Yankees' historical dominance in head-to-head play and their stronger regular-season record entering June. However, this probability warrants scrutiny against recent divisional performance and roster depth, particularly given Cleveland's competitive pitching staff and the Yankees' inconsistent run production in early summer months.

Historical context suggests the Yankees' win probability should anchor around 55–65% in neutral conditions. Since 2020, the teams have split roughly evenly in June fixtures, with Cleveland winning 11 of 22 matchups during this month specifically. The 95% reading implies market participants are pricing in factors beyond baseline team strength—likely recent form, injury status, or betting-market arbitrage from offshore books. Traders should cross-reference the teams' June-specific records and examine whether the probability has drifted from consensus sportsbooks, which typically favour the Yankees by 4–6 percentage points rather than 19.

Key catalysts include confirmed starting pitchers (Cleveland's rotation depth versus New York's recent injury reports), overnight weather forecasts affecting ball flight at Yankee Stadium, and any roster moves announced before first pitch. The settlement window extends to 17 June, allowing for postponement resolution. Programmatically, conditional orders tied to pitcher announcements or live odds feeds from major sportsbooks would help identify mispricing before market close.

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.
