PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue: Polymarket uses a unified three-outcome structure (Cubs/Orioles/Draw), while Kalshi uses three separate binary markets. The tie resolution pathway and mutual exclusivity are clear on Polymarket but ambiguous on Kalshi's market architecture.Hero tip: Traders should treat these as separate market families. On Polymarket, the Draw outcome is guaranteed to resolve if the score is tied after 5 innings. On Kalshi, clarify whether the tie market can resolve Yes independently or if it is mutually exclusive with the Cubs/Orioles markets. Monitor both platforms for any official clarification before the game.

Critical divergence points:

  • Polymarket: Three mutually exclusive outcomes: Cubs winning, Orioles winning, or Draw (tied). Resolution uses official MLB statistics or credible consensus if stats unavailable within 24 hours. Postponed games remain open until 5th inning completion; canceled games with no makeup resolve 50-50.
  • Kalshi: Three separate Yes/No markets covering Cubs first-5 win, Baltimore first-5 win, and tie in first 5 innings. No explicit statement on mutual exclusivity, tie-handling protocol, or fallback resolution source if official statistics are delayed.
Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market. Users are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable rules and resolution criteria before placing any trade or bet. If you notice a potential inconsistency, discrepancy, or error in an alert, please report it to our team so we can review and improve the accuracy of our data.

Frequently asked questions

Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi derive odds directly from trader supply and demand, often reflecting sharper, real-time adjustments than traditional sportsbooks. While sportsbooks set fixed lines and manage liability, prediction markets aggregate distributed knowledge across thousands of participants with direct financial incentive to price accurately. This market's odds may diverge from sportsbook spreads due to different liquidity pools, risk models, and settlement rules. Many traders use both venues to identify mispricings and arbitrage opportunities.

Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Each platform operates distinct order books, user bases, and fee structures, which naturally creates temporary price gaps. Polymarket and Kalshi may also attract different trader demographics—some favor one venue's interface or regulatory framework. Liquidity depth varies between platforms, meaning large trades can move prices differently on each. Additionally, platform-specific rules around order cancellation, leverage, and settlement timing can influence how traders position, causing the odds to drift apart until arbitrageurs exploit the spread.

Lineup announcements, starting pitcher confirmations, and injury reports will likely shift odds as traders reassess team strength. Weather conditions at game time—wind direction, temperature, humidity—affect ball carry and can influence early-inning scoring. Recent team performance, bullpen availability, and head-to-head matchup history also drive repricing. As first pitch approaches, any late-breaking roster changes or umpire assignments may trigger sharp moves. During the game itself, early runs, defensive plays, and pitcher effectiveness in the first few innings will cause rapid adjustments until the fifth inning concludes.
