Which Wednesday MLB markets are in focus on Kalshi?
CBS Sports highlighted the Pirates at the Yankees, with first pitch listed at 7:05 p.m. ET in New York. On Kalshi's game-winner market, New York was priced at $0.62 per share and Pittsburgh at $0.39 per share.
The same report put the Tigers at the Cubs at 8:10 p.m. ET in Chicago, with the Cubs at $0.53 per share and Detroit at $0.48. Season records cited were New York 56-44, Pittsburgh 52-49, Chicago 57-44, and Detroit 47-54.

How does Kalshi differ from a traditional sportsbook?
Kalshi is described in the source coverage as a prediction market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, not a house sportsbook. Users trade event contracts, and CBS Sports stressed that participation depends on eligibility rules and local law.
CBS Sports also said Kalshi provides risk tools such as trading breaks, voluntary opt-out, and personalized funding limits. Event-contract trading can involve substantial loss and is not suitable for every investor, the outlet warned.
