Official game ?

[jjdman]

If the home team is ahead after the visiting team has completed 5 at bats and game gets called in bottom of 5th is it a official game?

[stevo]

JJ and I are disagreeing there has to be three outs recorded by the home team in the bottom of 5th for game to be official.

I may be out a drink if not.

[Gummo]

A baseball game becomes official for moneyline wagering purposes after 4 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 5 innings if visiting team is winning.

per the Greek

MLB

GAME #951-952

The Washington vs. NY Mets game has been called in 4½ innings. For betting purposes the side is
good with NO ACTION on totals or run lines.

[Yzerman#19]

straight from MLB:

c) If a game is called, it is a regulation game:
(1) If five innings have been completed;
(2) If the home team has scored more runs in four or four and a fraction half-innings than the visiting team has scored in five completed half-innings;
(3) If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fifth inning to tie the score.
(d) If a regulation game is called with the score tied, it shall become a suspended game. See Rule 4.12.
(e) If a game is called before it has become a regulation game, the umpire shall declare it “No Game.”
(f) Rain checks will not be honored for any regulation or suspended game which has progressed to or beyond a point of play described in 4.10(c)
