What is the first 5 innings total in New York Y vs Boston?

Sportsbooks may adjust faster for sharp action, whereas prediction markets can lag or lead depending on information flow and liquidity. Neither is inherently more accurate, but comparing the two can reveal where casual bettors and professional traders disagree on the likely first-inning run total.
