WHEEWWWWWW!!!!! never in doubt...
..actually , in playing OVERS , getting the hook on an even number is advantageous; a tie score (5-5) guarantees you a win (playing over on a no hook EVEN will bring the PUSH into scope), and you know as i know, baseball is too weird when teams just go through the motion, but the situation here (not in this particular game) in a PROBABLE case can arise where a team has to play to tie the team ahead, whereas the next run is an automatic for sure event . Look for overs over 6.5 (or 6), 8.5 (or 8) and 10. 12 is slugfest material, and by that time, this lessens these factors I'm describing to some extent.
