Several factors can shift odds in this market before the game begins. Lineup announcements, starting pitcher confirmations, and injury updates are primary catalysts, as they directly affect offensive and defensive capability. Weather conditions—wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity—influence ball carry and can boost or suppress run totals. Recent team form, head-to-head matchups, and bullpen availability also drive trader positioning. As game time approaches, late-breaking news or roster changes can trigger sharp moves. Once play begins, early inning scoring and pitcher performance may influence late-arriving traders, though most action typically occurs pre-game.
