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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

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.

The top half of the inning is when the visiting team is batting. When the home team is batting, that is called the bottom half of the inning.

In MLB, half way through a baseball game is top of the fifth. There is no half game out to strike ratio but half of a baseball game is top 5.
