Will the Brewers vs. Rays Game Be Postponed May 10? What Happens to My Bet?
While the Brewers vs. Rays game will almost certainly be played Saturday, there was a potential for strong storms passing through the area that could result in delays. If you place you bet, it is important to understand a sportsbook's rules pertaining to suspended and postponed games, some of which differ across the board.
Remember that forecasts are subject to change.
General Rules Pertaining to Types of Bets
If the game is postponed before it begins and is not played within 48 hours of the original start time, all bets are voided, and your stake is refunded at most online sportsbooks.
If the game starts but is suspended and not completed within 48 hours, bets are voided unless the outcome of a specific market has already been determined at most online sportsbooks.
Impacts on Types of Bets
- Single Bets: These are voided if the game isn't completed within the 48-hour window, and your stake is returned.
- Parlay Bets: If one leg of your parlay is voided due to a postponed game, that leg is removed, and the parlay continues with the remaining selections. The odds and potential payout are adjusted accordingly.
- Player Props: These require all listed players to be active. If a player doesn't participate, the bet is voided.
Totals
If the game goes at least 9 innings (or 8.5 if the home team is winning), the total bet is counted and will be graded accordingly based on the score at the time of suspension.
Should the game be called off prior to 8.5 innings (or 9 full innings if the visiting team is ahead), the total bet is voided at most books. It will therefore be marked as "no action" and refunded in most cases.
In the event of a game suspension that resumes the next day (or within 24 hours), the game is deemed as "unofficial" as it applies to totals bets. Therefore, they are voided. However, some books do treat suspensions when resumed the next day differently in regard to totals so it is important to check individual sportsbook rules.
Brewers vs. Rays
PITCHING PROBABLES: Brewers: Tobias Myers (1-0, 3.65 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, eight strikeouts); Rays: Taj Bradley (3-2, 4.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 30 strikeouts)
Rays -132, Brewers +111; over/under is 9 1/2 runs. Action was heavy on the Brewers at greater than 80% early on and it's a little surprising the price was not coming down more for Tampa.
Top performers included Yandy Diaz has eight doubles and six home runs for the Rays. Junior Caminero is 10 for 38 with a double, two home runs and four RBI over the past 10 games.
Brice Turang has a .309 batting average to lead the Brewers, and has three doubles and three home runs. Jackson Chourio is 9 for 42 with an RBI over the last 10 games.
