Lineup changes, roster moves, or late injury announcements to key batters or pitchers will influence run-scoring expectations.

Starting pitcher form, bullpen availability, and recent team offensive trends also drive repricing. Once play starts, early runs, strikeouts, and base-running decisions will cause rapid repricing as traders update their forecasts in real time.
