Chicago Cubs vs opponent (MLB game)

The query 'cubs game' refers to a Chicago Cubs baseball game, which is an event. The headlines discuss Pete Crow-Armstrong and other Cubs players, indicating coverage of a recent or upcoming Cubs MLB game. However, the specific opponent is not identified in the query or headlines, so this represents a general Cubs game event rather than a specific matchup. The entityType is 'event' because it refers to a sporting contest, and isSpecificEvent is false because the exact game/opponent cannot be determined from the available information.

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
