This market resolves around Jun 25, 2026, once the game concludes and the final run total is verifiable from credible public sources. The outcome is determined by the combined runs scored by both teams across all innings played.

Once the result is confirmed and published by authoritative sports reporting, the market settles and traders receive payouts based on which outcome they held shares in at resolution.

Key lineup announcements—such as injuries to star hitters or pitchers—can shift expectations for run production significantly.
