Is Betting the First 5 inning Easier to Beat, than a Full Game ?

I see more and more guys playing the 1st 5 Innings of a Game.

Do you believe that it is Easier to Beat ?

It depends on a teams starting pitching compared to their bullpen. Also, this time of the year, some starters are still on pitch counts and you know the bullpen will be pitching also.

I think the SD/SF game is a perfect example. Chris Young is ten folds better than Zito but it's hard, sometimes, going against a home team with an OK bullpen. Especially if you think it will be a close game.

I wouldn't say easier but I do like that it's quicker.

I went 5 for 5 today trying first 5 innings. Took all 3 overs in the early games and took the 2 unders in the later games. Nice!

like to play unders for 1st 5 with good starting pitchers as when they leave game a bullpen can really screw you.

hard to say. i haven't been successful with it yet this year, but i won't give up on it either.

Ok, so I see what most of you guys are saying.

Key is a Good Starting pitcher.

Is there a Max # that you top out on ?? Like I only go as high as -160 on a Fav, do you have one for the First 5 ?
