-2.5 compared to -2

Can anyone tell me how many games that would have lost by betting the -2.5 in baseball last year compared to getting a push with the -2?

Quick look at data from 2003-2009, looks like 18.22% of games end with a 2 run difference. The distribution obviously changes with regard to home/away and favorite/dog. If: 50% = +100, then 68.22% = -215.
