Default 4/10 Baseball Prop

Had to pass this one along b/c I love it. Giants/Padres game tonight, most total bases: Brian Giles -.5 vs. Bonds at +130.

Giles, over a healthy 40 at bats, has pretty well owned Morris batting .375 with 3 homers and 3 doubles. Bonds, over a much smaller sample of 9 at bats against Hensley has gone just 1 of 9 with a double. Plus, Bonds walks a lot, which gives more of an advantage to Giles. I like this one at this price. It's at 5dimes.

Walks are one base. Bonds is more likely to get pulled before the end of the game for defense though, so may get fewer plate appearances that way. Good luck though, looks like it's tied right now.

This thread indicates why I stopped offering "total bases" props when I booked sports. Even when I posted the following disclaimer:

Single = 1 base
Double = 2 bases
Triple = 3 bases
Home Run = 4 bases
ANYTHING ELSE = 0 BASES

...I'd still have to deal with disputes from bettors who wanted credit for walks, HBP's, steals, even advances on passed balls and wild pitches.
