Several factors can shift this market significantly before resolution. Lineup announcements, starting pitcher confirmations, and recent offensive or defensive performance trends will influence trader expectations about early-game scoring. Weather conditions at game time, such as wind speed and temperature, affect ball carry and can boost or suppress run production. Injury updates to key players, bullpen availability, and historical head-to-head matchups in early innings all provide signals that active traders monitor. As game time approaches, these catalysts typically drive increased volatility and trading volume.
