What changed

Reading the trace.

The World Series futures field was not evenly distributed. The Dodgers alone accounted for 28.8% of the market-implied championship probability—nearly three times the share of any other team.

Concentration extended beyond the leader. The top five teams represented 63.9% of the field, leaving the other 25 teams to divide the remaining 36.1%.

The hierarchy was stable during the latest weekly interval. Top-five membership did not change, and the week’s individual team shifts remained below one probability point.
