What the contract measures
The Polymarket market "Hanshin Tigers vs. Yokohama BayStars" is tied to a single NPB game. If the Hanshin Tigers win, it resolves to "Hanshin Tigers." If the Yokohama BayStars win, it resolves to "Yokohama BayStars" [1]. The rules also state that if the game is postponed, "this market will remain open until the game has been completed," and that if the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game or ends in a tie, the market "will resolve 50-50" [1]. The primary resolution source is official NPB information, and "a consensus of credible reporting may also be used" [1]. The game is described as scheduled for October 16 at 5:00AM ET, and the listed end time is 2026-10-23T09:00:00.000Z [1]. The listed end time is a platform field. It does not show when the game was played or when a result was confirmed.
Reading the snapshot
The saved snapshot was observed at 2026-10-17T06:00:06.025Z and retrieved at 2026-10-17T08:25:24.267Z [1]. These are past capture times, not live trading conditions. The snapshot shows Hanshin Tigers at 0.334 and Yokohama BayStars at 0.666 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The two prices sum to 1.000 for this binary contract. The coverage record lists one market for this event, with one included and partialSample set to false [1]. The prices alone do not show how many traders hold each view, and the reported volume does not measure liquidity.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not show the game result, whether the game was played as scheduled, or whether it was postponed or canceled. It also does not show whether the market has resolved or what its price is now. No explanation for the 0.334 and 0.666 levels is supplied. The sample warning states that all saved markets for these events are included, but it does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome [1]. Comparing this contract with a similar market on another platform would require matching resolution wording and close times. Different prices alone do not indicate an arbitrage opportunity. Readers should check the provider's current status and official NPB information.

Saved Oct 17, 2026 UTCOverview
This PredictPedia entry covers a Polymarket contract on a Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) game between the Hanshin Tigers and the Yokohama BayStars [1]. The contract is a two-outcome market. It resolves to the team that wins the game. The rules state that the game was scheduled for October 16 at 5:00 AM ET [1]. That date appears in the contract rules and does not show that the game has been held or what its result was. The evidence does not include a game result, so this entry does not say which team won. The rules also address unusual outcomes. If the game is postponed, the market stays open until the game is completed [1]. If the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game, or if it ends in a tie, the market resolves 50-50 [1]. The primary resolution source is official NPB information, and a consensus of credible reporting may also be used [1]. The saved market shows an active status and a listed end time of 2026-10-23 at 09:00 UTC [1]. Prices in the saved snapshot are the last observed values for each team and are not executable quotes or verified probabilities. Readers should treat them as a record of one moment in the market, not as a forecast of the game.
Historical Context
The NPB 2024 season was the 75th season of professional baseball in Japan since the league was reorganized in 1950, and it marked the 90th anniversary of the founding of professional baseball in Japan. There were 12 NPB teams, divided evenly between the Central League and the Pacific League [2]. This background describes the 2024 season only. The supplied evidence does not establish how the 2026 schedule or league standings relate to that season, and it does not describe the teams' records or matchups in 2026.
Why It Matters
The contract measures which team wins one specific NPB game under its written rules [1]. Because the rules define how postponements, cancellations, and ties are handled, the contract's payout depends on the official outcome of the game as defined in those rules. The market is useful for seeing how traders priced the two possible winners at the time of the snapshot, but its prices are not a verified measure of the likelihood of either result [1].
