anyone else having problems with fanduel? i posted 2 bets tonight and the can’t check on them.

Going with a couple of underdogs tonight. Best of luck everyone!

Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox (6:10PM CST)

My Pick: Tampa Bay Rays ML (+115)

Personally, I believe the wrong team is favored here and the Rays are a team I wouldn't want to be betting against right now. The books are giving us plus money to back a team that's 25-12 SU (67.6%) this season, has gone 13-1 SU (92.9%) since April 22nd (12-2 against the run line in that span), and is a perfect 7-0 SU (100.0%) against divisional opponents this season instead of paying juice for a team that's 16-22 SU (42.1%) this season, has gone 6-11 SU (35.3%) at home (2-8 straight up since April 18th), and is 3-7 SU (30.0%) against divisional opponents this season. Connelly Early will be getting the start for Boston and the Red Sox are just 3-8 SU (27.3%) which drops to a perfect 0-5 SU (0%) in home games. Tampa Bay will be starting Jesse Scholtens and this will be just his second start with his first coming at home against an interleague Reds team. Historically though, Scholtens has a 1.29 ERA in two career appearances against the Red Sox - both as a reliever.

Tampa Bay is a hot team right now and we saw them take that momentum into Fenway Park on Thursday. At plus money, I think we're getting great value to back the team that's playing better ball and riding a nice win streak. Early hasn't been great at home but the innings Scholtens has put in at Fenway have been. With that in mind, I'll be going with one unit on the Tampa Bay Rays moneyline this evening.

=======================================

Detroit Tigers @ Kansas City Royals (6:40PM CST)

My Pick: Detroit Tigers ML (+129)

We've seen these two pitchers faceoff against each other a couple of times before, including once in Detroit this season and once in Kansas City last season. In that span, the Royals are 0-2 SU (0%) playing the Tigers when Kris Bubic is starting for KC and Keider Montero in starting for Detroit. In fact, after going a perfect 5-0 SU (100.0%) in games against Detroit between September 24, 2020 & April 16, 2022 the Royals have now gone a perfect 0-4 SU (0%) in each of their last four going back to July 2, 2022 when Bubic is getting the start. Meanwhile, the Tigers have gone a perfect 3-0 SU (100.0%) when Montero starts in divisional road games. In those three games, opponents were held to 2 runs or less every single time including a 1-0 shutout win against Bubic and Kansas City on June 1, 2025. Through recent seasons, it's also been Detroit who's taken most of the Game 1 matchups as an underdog between these two. Since the 2021 season, Detroit is 6-2 SU (75.0%) playing Kansas City as a road underdog in the first game of a series.

I think we could see a lower scoring game here. But once again, we're getting offered plus money to back a pitcher who's team is undefeated when facing divisional opponents on the road. On top of that, we've seen these two pitchers battle against each other a couple of times before and the books have always made Detroit an underdog and Detroit has always come away with the win. Kansas City was dominant the first five times they faced Detroit with Bubic on the bump, but since then it's been nothing but losses. Detroit has been dominant against Kansas City the last several times they've been a road underdog in the first game of the series, and I'm expecting that to continue this evening. With that mind, I'll be going with one unit on the Detroit Tigers to get the straight up win this evening.
