In baseball sports betting, “Over 5.5 runs” is a type of total runs (Over/Under) bet.
Meaning of Over 5.5 Runs:
You are betting that the combined total number of runs scored by both teams in the game will be 6 or more.
Example:
- Final score:
- Team A: 4
- Team B: 3
- Total runs = 4 + 3 = 7
You win the bet because 7 is over 5.5.
If the score is:
- Team A: 2
- Team B: 3
- Total = 5 runs
You lose the bet because 5 is under 5.5.
Applies to:
- Full game (usually 9 innings, or 8.5 if home team leads in 9th).
- Some books may offer first 5 innings over/under as well — read rules carefully.
