2nd Half Baseball Odds

The final category we have posted is the 2nd half baseball lines or 2nd chance lines as Pinnacle likes to call them. Right now CRIS sportsbook posts their 2nd half baseball spreads before the start of the game, while Pinnacle opens their odds in about the 5th inning of play to give bettors more time to bet than just the time between the end of the 5th inning and the top of the 6th. Only thing with Pinnacle is any run scored in the 5th inning results in the bet being no action.

For CRIS these spreads work just like 1st half bets and have the same rules as 1st half baseball betting. The only difference is that all bets start in the top of the 6th inning and are based just off of scoring in the 6th, 7th 8th and 9th innings.

Pinnacle's second chance lines work a little different. Your bet and their 2nd half odds are based on the outcome of the full 9 innings of play. Essentially Pinnacles lines the game like a second half using a point spread of runs but judges the results on a full game. It is something very new and interesting. For those that like to watch a game on TV so you can have a better feel how the game is playing out before you bet, this could be your niche.
