The model's call

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 | Cincinnati Reds | Chicago White Sox |
|---|---|---|
| Books consensus fair, de-vigged | 43.2% | 56.8% |
| Best book price incl. vig | 43.5% | 57.4% |
| Kalshi contract price | 43.9% | 56.1% |
| Polymarket contract price | 43.0% | 57.0% |
| Markets average | 43.4% | 56.6% |
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.
