Analysis

This 7% probability reflects market expectations that San Jose Earthquakes will win the 2026 MLS Cup. The low figure reflects San Jose's recent competitive standing within MLS; the team would need sustained regular-season performance and playoff success to shift these odds materially upward. The most relevant catalyst is the 2026 MLS season itself, which determines playoff qualification and seeding. Kalshi's 10% estimate runs 6 percentage points higher than Polymarket's 4%, suggesting disagreement on San Jose's true chances. Both venues show minimal recent trading volume on these contracts, indicating limited market conviction behind the current prices and relatively shallow liquidity.

  • San Jose Earthquakes' 2026 regular-season win-loss record and final conference standing will directly determine playoff position and tournament path
  • The cross-venue 6-percentage-point gap (Kalshi 10% vs Polymarket 4%) indicates material disagreement on probability, suggesting one market may be mispriced or reflecting different trader bases
  • Trading volume is near-zero on all listed contracts over the past 24 hours, indicating low market attention and the possibility that prices reflect few actual trades rather than active consensus
  • San Jose's roster composition and injury status through the 2026 season will affect their ability to compete against stronger MLS franchises in a knockout tournament format
  • MLS Cup is a single-elimination tournament, meaning even moderately competitive teams face steep odds; baseline probability for a mid-tier team in a 28-team league is substantially below 7%

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.
