Several factors can shift odds before the game begins. Lineup announcements—particularly the absence of key offensive players—may reduce first-inning scoring expectations. Pitcher assignments and recent performance trends in early innings carry weight, as do weather conditions that affect ball carry and visibility. Injury updates, bullpen depth changes, and historical head-to-head patterns between these teams in opening frames can all trigger repricing. Real-time trading activity itself also influences the market as new money enters or exits positions.
