It missed, with 0 of 5 legs landing. That is the ordinary outcome: at 2.4% to hit, missing was always about 98% likely, and coming up a leg or two short is the most common way it happens.
The ticket, as we published it
1Over 8.5 runs scoredATH vs KC48¢
2St. Louis wins by over 1.5 runs to winSTL vs CIN41¢
3Zi Ying Ruan to winCEM vs RUA71¢
4Amanda Anisimova to winANI vs PEG45¢
5Meritxell Teixido Garcia to winTEI vs CLA38¢
The near-miss trap: this ticket came up exactly one leg short 14% of the time, far more often than it ever cashed. That is what keeps people building them.
