3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Aaron Judge — resolved “No” on 28 Sept 2026. The outcome is Yes if Aaron Judge hits at least 30 home runs in the 2026 MLB regular season. The outcome is No if he fails to reach that total. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to the postseason or a different year.
  • Will the New York Yankees win the 2026 World Series? — resolved “No” on 8 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome requires the New York Yankees to win the 2026 World Series. The No outcome applies if any other team wins or if the Yankees are eliminated from playoff contention. Readers often mistake a player injury, such as Aaron Judge's calf strain, for a resolution trigger, but only the final series winner or official MLB elimination status matters.
  • Aaron Judge — the market puts it at 3%, closing 8 Dec 2026. The outcome is Yes if Aaron Judge wins the Hank Aaron Award for the 2026 MLB season; otherwise, it is No. Readers often mistake the award year or assume a different award counts, but only the Hank Aaron Award for the 2026 season matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
