This market aggregates trader conviction about the first three innings, which may differ from traditional sportsbook pricing. Comparing the two can reveal where the crowd's real-money forecast diverges from bookmaker consensus, potentially highlighting value or contrarian signals.

Breaking news about player health or unexpected roster moves closer to first pitch can also create sharp moves as traders reassess their positions.
