What does the term "first pitch result - bottom 1st" mean in the world of baseball betting? What is meant by the term "first pitch result - bottom 1st"?

With the "First pitch result - bottom 1st" line, you are simply betting on what the result of the first pitch in the bottom of the 1st inning will be.

For instance - let's say that the Toronto Blue Jays are playing against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park.

The first pitch result - bottom 1st lines might look like this:

Taken Strike/Swinging Strike/Foul, -140
Ball/HBP, +140
Any Other Out/Outcome, +1100
Extra Base Hit, +3300
Single, +3900

Hitters have a tendency to lay off the first pitch, as they want to get a feel for the pitcher's movements and speed, which is why a strike is almost always the favorite with these lines.

In this case, you would need to wager $140 on the first pitch being a strike in order to have the chance to win $100 in profit back.

If you think that the first batter in the bottom half of the first will come out swinging, you'd might want to take a stab at the "any other out", extra base hit or single lines.
