Difference between 1st 5 inning spreads and ML

[tbill11]

Hey guys, what's the difference between a ML on a favorite for the first five innings, and the -1/2? Odds are severely different, so I know they aren't the same thing...

ML = Tie Pushes
Spread = Tie Loses/Wins (depending on +.5 or -.5)

ML is equivalent to a pk, so a tie would be a push. The -0.5 requires that your team win the first five.

Right on, thanks. That's what I figured but I guess I got used to all these soccer odds where the PK would be posted right up front
