Analysis
This market shows extreme realized volatility of 394% with a vol ratio of 2.78, suggesting significant price swings despite the mid-probability 51¢ pricing and tight 1¢ spread. The 184% annualized yield is exceptionally high for a binary event with nearly 200 days to expiry, indicating either substantial uncertainty about Pittsburgh's playoff chances or potential mispricing relative to fundamental odds. With only $419 in 24-hour volume against $29.5k open interest, liquidity is thin, which may explain both the high yield and the outsized volatility—traders should be cautious about position sizing given the low trading activity.
Resolution rules
If Pittsburgh is one of the 2026 Pro Baseball Playoff Qualifiers, then the market resolves to Yes.
