Translate a matchup (home team + away team) into the eventId needed by get_game_props. Read-only. No side effects. Requires an API key; rate-limited per your tier. Use this when you know the teams playing but don't have the eventId. On success returns: { eventId }. Pass that id straight to get_game_props. On failure returns an error explaining that the game was not found on today's board. If multiple games match the team names (rare), returns the first match sorted by start time. Matching is case-insensitive substring containment against the full team name (e.g. "Yankees" or "New York Yankees" resolve for MLB) — short codes like "NYY" or "NY" do NOT match unless they are literally a substring of the team name. If no game is found, the matchup may not be scheduled for today or the sport may be off-season. When to use: when you know both team names and want the eventId without browsing the full slate. When not to use: use list_games instead when you want to browse all games on the slate. Use get_game_props directly if you already have the eventId.
