Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: O/U 9.5 at about a 100% chance — almost certain.
The field is effectively a binary contest between the over/under 9.5 runs and the game outcome, but the over/under dominates at 100% because the recent 5-1 Orioles win (Yahoo Sports, Jul 25) landed well under the total, making the 'under' the only priced outcome; the single biggest shift is the collapse of the moneyline market to 0% after the Orioles' decisive victory, which erased any probability for either team winning outright.
📊 Base rate: In MLB regular-season games, the over/under total of 9.5 runs historically hits the over about 48% of the time and the under about 52%, per league-wide averages from the past decade, so the current 100% implied probability for the under is extremely high relative to that baseline.
What's driving it
- • The Orioles' 5-1 win on July 25 (Yahoo Sports) directly pushed the total under 9.5, reinforcing the 'under' side and collapsing the moneyline market to 0% as the game outcome was already decided.
- • The Red Sox' 15-game winning streak ended with a 6-3 loss to the Orioles on July 23 (AP News), but the streak's momentum was cited as making Boston 'more dangerous' (Sports Illustrated, Jul 25), though the subsequent loss dampened that narrative.
- • The Red Sox front office's potential inaction after the streak (Over the Monster, Jul 25) and the team's turnaround from disappointment to MLB's hottest team (NBC News, Jul 24) create uncertainty about sustained performance, but the recent head-to-head result overrides those factors.
Why the front-runners lead
- • The over/under 9.5 market is the only active candidate because the game has concluded with a 5-1 score (Yahoo Sports, Jul 25), making the 'under' a settled outcome with no remaining uncertainty.
- • The moneyline market (Orioles vs. Red Sox) is at 0% because the game's final result is known, leaving no probability for either team to win.
- • No other candidates exist in this two-candidate field, so the over/under's dominance is purely a function of the game being over.
Why it's still open
- • The field is not open because the game has already been played; the only way the moneyline could regain probability is if the result were overturned, which is not possible.
- • No candidate can overtake the over/under because the total runs scored (6) are fixed, and the 'under' is the only correct outcome.
- • The 0% for the Orioles vs. Red Sox reflects a settled event, not a competitive race; any future market would require a new game.
What to watch
- • No future events can reshape this race because the game is over; any catalyst would apply only to a new market for a different game.
- • If a new Orioles-Red Sox game were scheduled, the over/under line and moneyline odds would reset based on starting pitchers and recent form, but no such event is mentioned in the headlines.
- • The Red Sox' first baseman Triston Casas injury update (Boston Herald, Jul 25) could affect future games but has no impact on this settled market.

Ben Kohles vs The Field
Despite Ben Kohles holding a two-shot lead after the first round of the 3M Open, the field is priced at 92% because Kohles has a history of late-round collapses (most recently hitting into water on 18 to lose on Jul 17) and the tournament still has 54 holes with many top players like Scottie Scheffler only three back (Field Level Media, Jul 24). The single biggest recent shift is the market's skepticism of Kohles' lead, as his odds remain low despite the first-round advantage.
