Can you cover a -1.5 with a ground rule double?

Even tho its just worryness i rarely bet a -1.5 on the home team, i have better luck with the road teams, especially when the home team is up 3-1 top 9 1 out n they throw runner out on first instead of getting the lead guy. From the team standpoint its a great idea but too many times u get ****ed over with the home team

If you got runners at 2nd and 3rd I'm pretty sure you can.

Wasnt there a 1 run grand slam?

the grand single with Robin Ventura in the playoffs for the Mets?

I don't think it was only 1 run, and it wasn't four runs only because he was mobbed before he could round the bases.

It still was more than one run.

If there's a home run with runners on, the runs count.

MLB Rule 4.11 (abridged):
(c) If the home team scores the winning run in its half of the ninth inning (or its half of an extra inning after a tie), the game ends immediately when the winning run is scored. EXCEPTION: If the last batter in a game hits a home run out of the playing field, the batter-runner and all runners on base are permitted to score, in accordance with the base-running rules, and the game ends when the batter-runner touches home plate.
