The money you put down on the bet is returned, and it’s like nothing ever happened. What happens if it finished 5-3 and the total runs in the game match eight? Well, that’s called a push, and the bet is essentially canceled. Let’s say the final score is 6-3 in favor of the Rays. If you like how one of the pitchers matches up with the opposing lineup, maybe bet the under. If you think one of the starting pitchers is due to blow up, maybe you bet the over. Eight runs isn’t particularly high or low for a total. This is a relatively standard baseball total. The odds are the same for both bets, at -110, which is slightly less than even money.
There are two possible bets: betting there will be more than eight combined runs or betting under eight combined runs. In this case, the Rays are hosting the Rangers, and the spread, total, and moneyline are all listed.
