Pinnacle baseball sportsbook wagers are the same as those for baseball totals. The result of a baseball game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a baseball game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the baseball game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the baseball game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified.
Pinnacle Accepted and Unaccepted Sportsbook Wagers

Pinnacle baseball wagers must go the day written, otherwise there is no action and all monies are refunded. Money-line wagers on baseball will be accepted in the following manner: Action – baseball team against baseball team, regardless of the starting pitchers. Listed - if both starting pitchers are not exactly as specified at the time of the
Pinnacle baseball bet, the wager will be deemed "no action.” One Listed Pitcher - this is a wager on or against one specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher. If the specified pitcher does not start, the wager is deemed "no action.” (examples: "the Red Sox versus Helling" indicates a wager against Helling. "Helling against the Red Sox" indicates a wager on Helling).
Pinnacle Sportsbook Policy on Pitching Changes
In the event there is a pitching change prior to the baseball game, the money-line will be re-adjusted and "action" wagers will be graded using the opening price for the new pitcher.
A pitcher is deemed a starter after throwing the first pitch to the opponent's first batter.
Pinnacle baseball wagers on totals and run-lines must always specify both pitchers listed.
Double Headers: Double header baseball games are denoted as Game 1 or Game 2.
Pinnacle members may list pitchers in a double header, however,
Pinnacle baseball wagers are taken on baseball games, not pitchers. If a scheduled pitcher does not go in his scheduled baseball game of a double header but in the other baseball game, wagers are graded based on the baseball game, not on the pitcher.
A baseball team must play at least 160 baseball games for wagers on its baseball season wins to have action.
