It's actually worse than a balk, even though the outcome(penalty) is the same as a balk.
Peterson committed a disengagement, or pickoff limit violation.
A pitcher is not allowed to step off the rubber 3 times per at bat. If he does try a 3rd pickoff during the same at bat, it is legal as long as he gets the batter out on that 3rd try.
Weird stuff, but it's a rule. And a terrible way to lose a bet for sure.
Although, it looked like a very veteran move by Springer at first base. He knew that Peterson threw to first twice. So he extended his lead at first base. Cat n mouse worked.
