What is the halftime result of Washington Spirit vs. San Diego Wave FC?

Prediction market odds and sportsbook odds often diverge because they reflect different pricing mechanisms. Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and protect their margin, while prediction markets price outcomes through continuous trader participation and real-money incentives. Traders in this market are motivated to identify mispricing relative to their own estimates, which can lead to sharper or more reactive pricing than traditional sportsbooks. Comparing the two can reveal where consensus differs most sharply on the halftime result.
