Since the Giants won the appeal of the Tuesday nights game will that bet carry over to the end of that game or a refund or what?
SportsHoopla Bookie, not sure how you want to handle this, but the 8/19 San Francisco @ Chicago Cubs game has been ruled incomplete and to be finished on Thursday afternoon (per USA Today, ESPN):
USA Today said:Major League Baseball, in a rare decision, upheld the San Francisco Giants' protest Tuesday night over their rain-shortened loss against the Chicago Cubs, and ruled that the game be resumed Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
It was the first time a protest was upheld involving a game in 28 years.
Major League Baseball ruled that the Cubs were negligent Tuesday putting a tarp in place after a 15-minute rain shower ended the game after four and a half innings, with the Cubs declared winners, 2-0, after a four-hour, 34-minute delay.
ESPN said:The San Francisco Giants have prevailed in their protest of Tuesday night's tarp-snafu game, MLB announced. It is the first time an MLB team has won a protest since 1986.
The game between the Giants and the Cubs will resume at 4:05 CT Thursday before the teams' regularly scheduled game. It will start in the bottom of the fifth with the Cubs leading, 2-0.
