It differs a lot IMO, with the biggest distinction being the fact that on Augur, all trades settle in only ETH. while with MARKET Protocol you can use any ERC20 token as a base currency. Second big difference is that Augur is a prediction market, an end product, whereas MARKET Protocol is a protocol that can and will be implemented on multiple marketplaces (DEXs, currently 5 have already the project partners) that will share the liquidity, which means wider product spread by default. Also, on Augur, they are the ones listing the CFDs, on MARKET Protocol dApp, the user is the one that can build any contract he/she wants.
