Question - Baseball rules

Just wondering why do totals and run lines have to go all the way to 9 inning in order to have action on a bet? To be fair with those playing the over on the totals? Thx for your comments

The reason is simple...

Just like a game may go OVER in 5 innings but gets called, the same can happen to someone betting the UNDER...

Imagine, how they would feel if the TOTAL was 12 on a Colorado Rockie game and the game was called after 8 innings with the score being 0-0 at the time....

That's why totals have to go all the way...

To be fair to over betters as well as Under betters!
