Those are horrible, horrible odds for the out-of-universe section, night_sentinel. I wouldn't bet with you at all. Also, I have never seen that format for quoting odds before.
... Actually, scratch that. Put 10000 Pokedollars on Rinkai.
The odds I would personally offer (out-of-universe - my hypothetical in-universe bookmaker knows more than I do so I can't put any odds for them)?
Kiyosumi: 1.00 (betting not allowed). Practically certain. There's no way that the spin-off protagonists can get further than the main characters. If I was feeling charitable, maybe 1.01 or so - but I don't want to risk it (a bookmaker does need to turn a profit, after all).
Rinkai: 1.30. An all-star team that is strong across the board, and certainly my pick of the bunch. It'll also give the most interesting final, IMO.
Himematsu: 5.00. Solid, but given Kinue and Kyouko's track record, the lower order will be tough for them.
Usuzan: 6.00. Has potential for a come-from-behind win, but is held back by its first three members, which are basically filler (at least Shindouji had some good players there). Will be problematic story-wise should they actually make it, which is a reason that can only come from an out-of-universe perspective, of course.
Also, lemme copy the speculation translation from the last page:
