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 Cardinals	Los Angeles Angels
Books consensus fair, de-vigged	47.8%	52.2%
Best book price incl. vig	48.8%	54.5%
Kalshi contract price	47.5%	51.5%
Polymarket contract price	48.0%	52.0%
Markets average	47.7%	51.8%

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.
