the top of the inning is the first three outs in an inning. an inning has a total of six outs, three outs for each team. each team takes as many at-bats as they can get before they get three outs in their half of the inning. then the other team gets at-bats until they get three outs. after that, the inning is over.
============================================
The home team gets "home field advantage." In Baseball, the visiting team bats first and the home team bats last.
The advantage to batting last is that the visiting team does not get another chance to take the lead if the home team is ahead after the visiting team has batted in the ninth inning, or if the home team takes the lead during its turn at bat in the ninth inning.
The home team always gets the last chance to tie or win the game in the ninth inning or extra innings.
The "top" of the inning refers to the visiting team being at bat. The "bottom" of the inning refers to the home team being at bat.
