I think he means betting the game is a trap in itself. Kinda like that Activision game called “pitfall”
Right Jord! I am with ya, looks to me like if a trap, one would bet the under!
We are thinking alike just you're on the under and I'm on the over , we both think its a solid play just opposite.
Correct it appears as an easy over in my opinion hopefully I'm correct and win its 50/50 chance.
According to Allen Iverson.
The lowest total runs ever offered in MLB sports betting history is 5.5, a rare number typically set for specific pitching matchups. While most game totals are 7 runs or higher, low numbers like 5.5 have appeared in the postseason or games featuring elite pitchers.
Factors leading to extremely low totals
Several variables can cause bookmakers to set such a low number for an MLB game, including:
Exceptional starting pitching: If a game features two of baseball's top starting pitchers, such as the Seattle Mariners' George Kirby and the Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal in the 2025 postseason, a 5.5 total is possible.
Dominant bullpens: Bullpens that are rested and highly effective can also reduce the projected total runs.
Favorable ballparks: Some ballparks, like T-Mobile Park in Seattle, are known for being pitcher-friendly, which contributes to lower-scoring games.
Cold or unfavorable weather: Colder temperatures or winds blowing in from the outfield can suppress scoring and lower the run total.
How do low totals compare to average MLB totals?
Average totals: The standard over/under line for most MLB games ranges from 7.5 to 10.5 runs.
Significance of 5.5: The rarity of a 5.5 total shows that the game is projected to be exceptionally low-scoring, indicating a high level of confidence in the pitching from both sides.

Or in the case of Detroit, shitty hitting? 
Ha! And as I wrote that, they hit a freaking home run!!!!

the real question is: when the line is 5.5, what percentage of those games go over?
nice stuff rocky.......And it sure was nice for Allen Iverson to take time off from the sixers to lend his time!
