I will revise the USA Today to match what is reported as I've used that metric to resolve markets from 2023 and 2024. (Have I seriously been doing this nearly two years?!)

Anyway, yeah. Resolves YES for any MLB team from the lower half (#16 through #30) winning the 2025 World Series.

Resolves NO if any team (#1 through #15) wins the World Series.

Resolves N/A for any issues that result in the World Series not played or completed.
