Alternativa alta, alternativa baja

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Sports betting
In a list of options for betting on cricket, is gives "2º bateador: carreras - 2 opciones - Alternativa alta/baja". I am thinking 'alta' and 'baja' might be 'in' and 'out' but I'm only guessing. Is there any kind person out there who knows for sure?
Proposed translations (English)
4 High alternative / Low alternative

Just a hunch It could be a bet on whether the batsman will score above or below a certain amount of runs. Or that the batsman gets the highest/lowest score in his team or in the innings.

a bit odd having cricket from Spanish into English :)

Individual Batsman Series Runs
BACK or OPPOSE the performance of individually priced batsmen throughout a Test Series. If you believe someone will accumulate more runs than our prediction you place your spread bet ‘high’ at the higher level of our prediction. If you think an individual will struggle and make fewer runs than our projection you bet low at the lower level of the prediction.
