There is no official dugout for home teams and/or visiting teams in professional baseball. Each ball park is different with the home team dugout pre-determined.

What does Maximum run spread per game is 7 regardless of score mean?
It means that neither team can score over seven runs (points) more than the opposing team. This is an example of a "Slaughter Rule." For the Visiting Team: If the Visiting Team scores 7 runs more than the Home Team's current score, their half-inning is over and they must take the field. The inning is treated as a final inning unless the Home Team can produce a run to shorten the spread. If the Home Team cannot score a run during their turn at bat, the game is called and the Visiting Team wins. For the Home Team: If the Home Team scores 7 runs more than the Visiting Team's current score, the game is called and the Home Team wins. The inning is treated as the final inning and the Visiting Team does not get an opportunity to rally.

What does the bottom of an inning mean?
Major League Baseball consists of 9 innings, with each team alternating their at-bat. The Visiting team bats first, which is the top of the inning, and continues batting until 3 Outs have been recorded. The Home team then bats, which is the bottom of the inning, and continues until 3 Outs have been recorded. Then the Visiting team would bat again in the top of the second inning, and the game would continue that way until 9 innings have been played, or 8-1/2 innings if the Home team is ahead after the Visiting team has completed their at-bat in the top of the 8th inning.
What happens in a tie bottom of the ninth inning?
That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.
