Several catalysts can shift odds in this market before resolution. Lineup announcements, particularly the confirmation of starting pitchers, often trigger sharp moves since pitcher quality directly affects run-scoring expectations.

Real-time game developments like early runs, pitching changes, or momentum swings will drive continuous repricing as traders update their forecasts.
