Market context

The New York Yankees, sitting first in the AL East with a 47-31 record, face the Detroit Tigers, who hold fourth in the AL Central at 34-45, in a 6:40pm ET matchup on Wednesday, June 24. Despite the Tigers being favoured by -132 on the moneyline in some markets and the Yankees carrying a +109 price, the crowd-implied probability of 64% for a Yankees win suggests a strong market belief in the visitors overcoming the home-ice advantage, even as the total is set at 7 runs.

Historically, when a team with a superior win-loss record like the Yankees plays against a struggling squad like the Tigers, the market often overcorrects towards the favourite, yet the 64% figure here aligns with comparable cases where the stronger team’s pitching depth neutralises the home run line, particularly when the under is favoured in road games against the Tigers, as seen in the 2-0 under trend this season.

Traders should monitor the starting lineups announced shortly before the game, as any late changes to the Yankees’ rotation or the Tigers’ bullpen could shift the odds, and watch for weather updates that might impact the 7-run total; recent analysis from Action Network highlights the under 7.5 as the best bet, suggesting that defensive play could be a key catalyst for the outcome.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
