Miami is the 63c favorite over Washington at loanDepot park, priced identically on Kalshi and Polymarket with no cross-platform gap on the moneyline. The Marlins (65-64, 39-25 at home) start Eury Pérez (6-9, 3.23 ERA) against Jake Irvin (2-7, 5.80 ERA) and a Washington club that has lost eight of its last ten. The board carries roughly $113K in lifetime volume, and first pitch is 4:10 PM ET on August 22, 2026.
Miami is the 63c favorite over Washington for the 4:10 PM ET first pitch at loanDepot park, and the two books agree to the cent: Kalshi has the Marlins at 63c and Polymarket has them at 63c, with Washington at 38c on both. That is a rare zero-gap moneyline on a board carrying roughly $113K in lifetime volume. The Marlins (65-64, 39-25 at home, third in the NL East) took the series opener 3-2 on Friday. The Nationals (61-69, 34-33 on the road, fourth in the NL East) arrive having lost eight of their last ten.
Nationals vs Marlins Market Context
The 25c gap between the two sides is doing exactly what the pitching matchup suggests it should. Miami sends Eury Pérez (6-9, 3.23 ERA) against Jake Irvin (2-7, 5.80 ERA), a 2.57-run ERA separation that is the single widest input on this board. Pérez has the better ratio and the home park; Irvin is the reason Washington cannot buy a better number even with a road record (34-33) that is meaningfully stronger than its home record (27-36).
That road split is the one argument the 38c side has. Washington is six games under .500 overall but a game over .500 away from Nationals Park, and its 2-8 stretch has come against a schedule that included the Mets and the Rangers. The market has not priced any of that as a discount. Miami at 63c implies roughly 63% and sits inside a penny of where the Marlins have traded all night.
Line movement on the moneyline has been nonexistent, and that is an observed hold rather than an assumption. Kalshi has carried Miami between 62c and 63c across 74 captures beginning 9:36 PM ET Friday and closed the overnight window back at 63c. Polymarket has not printed a single tick off 63c across 33 captures since 12:17 AM ET. The captures we hold reach back only to Friday evening, so this is an overnight read, not a full open-to-now story, but inside that window nothing moved.
What the Nationals vs Marlins Board Is Pricing
The deepest line here is not the moneyline. Run in the 1st inning carries $49.3K in lifetime volume, more than the Miami and Washington moneylines combined, and it is where the two books actually disagree: Kalshi 47c, Polymarket 45c. Kalshi drifted up from 46c to 47c across 60 captures while Polymarket eased from 48c to 45c across 40, so the books crossed each other overnight and settled 2c apart. Polymarket is the cheaper yes and Kalshi the cheaper no on the same question.
The full-game runline reads Miami (-1.5) at 44c and Washington (-1.5) at 26.5c on $9.4K and $292 of volume respectively. Those are separate questions rather than two sides of one, and together they leave roughly 30c on a one-run game in either direction, which is a reasonable read for a matchup between two clubs separated by four games in the standings.
The total is the only core line that has drifted at all. Over 7.5 runs sits at 52c on both books after opening the overnight window at 53c on Kalshi, a 1c ease toward the under across 64 captures on $12.6K of volume. The ladder around it is orderly: over 6.5 at 64c, over 8.5 at 44c, over 9.5 at 34c. The first-five-innings total of 4.5 is priced at 46.5c (46c Kalshi, 47c Polymarket), which is the market saying the starters, not the bullpens, are expected to carry the scoring profile.
On props, Pérez strikeouts over 6.5 is the most active at 47c on $179 of volume, with 4+ strikeouts at 90c and 8+ at 32c. Irvin's ladder is priced far lower, 2+ strikeouts at 93c but 6+ at only 32c, consistent with a starter the market does not expect to work deep. The Irvin strikeouts 4.5 line shows the widest cross-platform disagreement on the board, 50c on Kalshi against 45c on Polymarket, but the Polymarket leg listed only this morning and carries no volume behind it yet, so treat that 5c as an untested quote rather than a settled disagreement. Among hitters, CJ Abrams is priced at 63c for 1+ hits and 16c for a home run.
When the Nationals vs Marlins Market Resolves
The moneyline resolves to the team that wins the game at loanDepot park on August 22, 2026, first pitch 4:10 PM ET, confirmed by both the Kalshi game ticker and the ESPN scoreboard. The runline and every total settle on the official final score, including extra innings. Both Kalshi and Polymarket close the market when the game is declared final, and a postponement pushes settlement to the rescheduled completion rather than voiding, subject to each platform's own suspended-game rules.

Friday's meeting between these clubs is priced and archived at the August 21 Nationals vs Marlins board, which resolved to Miami 3-2. The season-long context runs through the Marlins playoff market and the Nationals playoff market, where a 65-64 club and a 61-69 club are priced very differently, and the 2026 NL East winner board for the divisional picture both teams are chasing from third and fourth. For every open contract on either club, see the Miami Marlins hub and the Washington Nationals hub, or the full MLB board for the rest of the slate.
Resolution Criteria
The moneyline resolves to the team that wins the game between the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park on August 22, 2026, with a scheduled 4:10 PM ET first pitch. Each winning team contract pays $1 per share and the losing side settles at $0. The runline (Miami -1.5, Washington -1.5) and every full-game and first-five-innings total settle on the official final score as published by MLB, with extra innings included in full-game markets. Kalshi and Polymarket both close and settle the market once the game is declared final. If the game is postponed or suspended, settlement follows the rescheduled completion rather than voiding, subject to each platform’s own suspended-game rules.
