The model's call
Tampa Bay Rays to win
Model confidence 53.2%
Books consensus 53.2%
Identical on purpose: the model applies no adjustment to the books’ de-vigged
consensus until a candidate signal proves itself in shadow audit — none has yet.
Prediction markets below are a comparison, not an input.

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 | Texas Rangers | Tampa Bay Rays |
|---|---|---|
| Books consensus fair, de-vigged | 46.8% | 53.2% |
| Best book price incl. vig | 48.1% | 54.5% |
| Kalshi contract price | 48.0% | 52.0% |
| Polymarket contract price | 47.5% | 52.5% |
| Markets average | 47.7% | 52.2% |
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.
