Play #1
Baltimore @ NY Yankees
Pick: Props Baseball 6115 BAL M.Reynolds total bases -120* vs NYY A.Rodriguez total bases (Fixed Price) (5 units)
I am playing a prop in the first game today. We have a immediate advantage here due to Arod NOT in the starting line-up for game #5. Mark Reynolds is batting 7th in the Baltimore line-up. I don't see how this line doesn't go against the play as we get closer to gametime so if you are going to play it get you wager locked in.

Most books will cancel this play unless both players start the game.
MOST TOTAL BASES Single=1base, Double=2bs, Triple=3bs, Homerun=4bs. HITS ONLY. Props are based on action not listed pitchers.Game must go 9 full innings or 8 1/2 if home team is winning. Extra innings count on wager. Both players must start for action.
Thats not correct with my book and most books. The rule of thumb is Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees - American League Division Series Game 5 - J.Hammel & C.Sabathia must start for action
The other day a prop was listed which included Brandon Belt, who didn't start the game and the prop was NOT cancelled. As long as the listed pitchers start you have action.
First 5 inning lines are graded at the end of the 5th inning. All 5 inning wagers have action at that time, regardless whether the game is completed. The following propositions have action at the time they occur, regardless whether the game is completed or official: 1st 5 inning wagers, team to score first, 1st inning wagers or any wager involving a team or player to achieve an outcome first. The following propositions will be graded NO ACTION if a game does not go 8½-9 innings and is an official completed game on that day: team statistical match-ups, player match-ups (including total bases), team total runs, H-R-E wagers, or any wager involving an over/under format.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL THIS POSTED WAGER DUE TO THE CONFUSION AND THE DIFFERENT RULES AT DIFFERENT BOOKS. I WILL HAVE ANOTHER OFFICIAL PLAY ON THE GAME MOMENTARILY.
Well, sorry for the confusion. Below is my next favorite proposition. I am playing a prop with this game because I just can't get a solid read on either the side ot total and I feel the props are much stronger.
