As of October 15, professional baseball postseason games are not official until a winner is declared. The ALDS Game 1 between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers was suspended in the second inning due to weather before play resumed the following day with new pitchers. As there can be no rain-shortened postseason games, 5Dimes has updated their rulebook to clarify how they will handle the uncommon scenario in the future.

Here are the updated baseball betting rules:

Professional post season games are not official until a winner is declared. If a professional post season game begins then is delayed to a later date, all wagers will have action with the final score result on that date. (updated 10/15/2011, applies to all games scheduled on 10/15/2011 or later)

Regardless of their starting/completion date, NCAA baseball, NCAA softball, international tournament and youth league tournament games have action with the final result score. (updated 10/15/2011, applies to all games scheduled on 10/15/2011 or later)

All regular season baseball games are considered official after 5 innings of play (4½ if the home team is winning). If a game is called or suspended after 5 innings, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning of play – unless the home team scores to tie or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in that case, the winner is then determined by the score at the time the game is called. When betting on baseball totals or run-lines, the game must go 9 innings (8½ if the home team is winning). (updated 10/15/2011, applies to all games scheduled on 10/15/2011 or later).
