Get startedFirst five innings predictions
A first-five-innings (F5) bet only counts the score after five innings. It takes the bullpens mostly out of the picture, so the result leans on the two starting pitchers and the top of each lineup.
MLB is in its offseason
First-five-innings predictions return with the regular season on Opening Day. In the meantime, see today’s picks for the NBA, NFL and NHL.
How F5 bets work
- F5 moneyline: which team leads after five innings. If it’s tied, most books grade it as a push (some offer a three-way line with the tie).
- F5 run line: usually −0.5 or −1.5 runs instead of the full-game −1.5.
- F5 total: runs scored by both teams through five innings, typically around half the full-game total.
- The game has to reach five innings (four and a half if the home team leads) or the bet is usually voided. Check your sportsbook’s rules.
Why bettors like them
When a strong starter faces a weak one, the full-game line also has to price the bullpens. F5 lines let you bet on the starting matchup alone. Members see our first-five projections alongside the full-game picks where our F5 model covers the game.
