Polymarket
This event group covers two distinct baseball games involving the Tokyo Yakult Swallows and Yokohama BayStars. The Polymarket contract resolves based on the outcome of an NPB professional game, while the Kalshi contracts resolve based on run totals from a specified college baseball game scheduled for the same date and time next year.
In the upcoming NPB game, scheduled for August 16 at 5:00AM ET: If the Tokyo Yakult Swallows win, the market will resolve to "Tokyo Yakult Swallows". If the Yokohama BayStars win, the market will resolve to "Yokohama BayStars". If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, or ends in a tie, this market will resolve 50-50. The primary resolution source will be official information from the NPB. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
The event evaluates multiple thresholds for the total runs scored by both the Yokohama DeNA BayStars and Tokyo Yakult Swallows in their college baseball game scheduled for August 16, 2026, at 5:00 AM EDT. Each market corresponds to a different run total threshold—specifically, whether the combined score exceeds 5.5, 7.5, 9.5, or 11.5 runs. If the actual total runs meet or surpass any of these thresholds, the respective market resolves to 'Yes'; otherwise, it resolves to 'No'. All markets are independent, meaning the resolution of one does not affect the others. The governing rules emphasize that Kalshi, the platform hosting these markets, holds no official affiliation with the league or teams involved, and all trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
Injuries to key players, weather delays, or changes in team strategy could shift this market as the game approaches. Strong recent performances or trading rumors may also sway trader sentiment. Any update that alters the perceived likelihood of outcomes can cause rapid price changes on both Polymarket and Kalshi before the market settles.
