Analysis

2d ago

The White Sox are priced at an extremely depressed 4¢ with a staggering 4,997% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting severe undervaluation or potential liquidity issues given the minimal $7.4 daily volume against $5.5M open interest. The 3¢ bid-ask spread and extraordinarily high realized volatility of 6,974% indicate this is a highly illiquid, erratic market where small trades could move prices dramatically, making the current odds potentially unreliable as a true probability estimate. With 175 days to expiry and a neutral regime score, the market appears to be pricing in near-zero chance of a White Sox division win, though the extreme yield and low volume suggest this may reflect thin liquidity rather than genuine market consensus.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2026 MLB American League Central division. In the event of a tie, this market will resolve according to the official winner as determined by MLB rules. If multiple winners are announced then this market will resolve to the team whose listed nickname comes first alphabetically. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed team to be named the 2026 American League Central division champion per the rules of the MLB (e.g., they are eliminated in the playoffs), the corresponding market will resolve to “No”. If the 2026 MLB regular season is cancelled, postponed after October 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source will be official information from Major League Baseball (https://www.mlb.com/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
