Prediction markets vs the books

Every venue sells the same thing — a dollar if that side wins — at a different price. Implied cost per venue below; amber = the cheapest way to buy that side right now.

Venue St. Louis CardinalsPittsburgh Pirates
Books consensus fair, de-vigged 42.5% 57.5%
Best book price incl. vig 43.9% 59.2%
Kalshi contract price 41.7% 58.3%
Polymarket contract price 41.5% 58.5%
Markets average 41.6% 58.4%

Contract prices exclude exchange trading fees (Kalshi ~1–2¢ midrange), which narrow small gaps. A venue meaningfully below the books consensus is either a bargain or an early opinion — the graded record decides which.
