Several catalysts can shift odds before the game begins and during the first five innings. Pre-game announcements—starting pitcher changes, key player injuries, or lineup adjustments—often trigger sharp price moves. Weather conditions, home-field advantage, and recent head-to-head performance can also influence trader positioning. Once play starts, runs scored, pitching changes, and momentum swings in the early innings will drive real-time repricing. Traders monitoring live game data and team news can capitalize on these moves as new information becomes available.
