Market context

The Boston Red Sox travel to Yankee Stadium on 7 June for a regular-season matchup against the New York Yankees. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 PM Eastern Time. The market currently reflects a near-even split at 49% implied probability for a Red Sox victory, suggesting traders view both teams as competitive in this fixture. Settlement occurs on 14 June, allowing a week for postponements or make-up games should weather or other factors disrupt the original date.

Historical head-to-head records between these franchises show the Yankees have maintained a slight edge in recent seasons, though the Red Sox remain formidable divisional rivals. The 2024 regular season saw competitive matchups between the two clubs, with neither team establishing decisive dominance. Current roster composition and recent form will shape how the market reprices as game day approaches. Injury reports and lineup confirmations typically emerge 24–48 hours before first pitch and often trigger significant probability shifts in comparable MLB markets.

From a regulatory standpoint, this market operates under distinct frameworks depending on trader jurisdiction. UK-based traders face oversight under the Gambling Commission, whilst US participants encounter CFTC reach for certain prediction market structures. The German GlüStV (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag) classifies sports prediction markets as gambling products requiring specific licensing. No-KYC accessibility up to $1,500 on some platforms means traders below that threshold avoid identity verification, though settlement and withdrawal procedures remain subject to operator compliance with anti-money-laundering obligations. Traders should confirm their platform's regulatory status before committing capital.

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.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
