Sportsbooks set their odds based on models and expert opinions, but can be influenced by biases or attempts to balance their book. This market, driven by diverse participants on Kalshi, incorporates a wider range of information and perspectives. While sportsbook odds are readily available, the dynamic pricing here can offer a different signal about the true probability of a first inning run, potentially identifying value where sportsbooks may have mispriced the event.
