Rays at Giants on Friday night features Joe Boyle against Landen Roupp in Oracle Park. Tampa Bay (59-63) arrives off a series win over Oakland and has faded from playoff contention, while San Francisco (59-62) rides a five-game skid into the homestand. Odds tilt slightly toward the Giants, but the game shapes as a lower-scoring, pitcher-driven affair in a ballpark that suppresses offense. Our take for fantasy and betting centers on the two probables: Boyle (1-2, 3.82 ERA) and Roupp (7-6, 3.11 ERA), with the total set at 8 and the over a real upside argument tonight.

The matchup leans on bullpen usage and run-suppressing environment, with Rays likely hoping Boyle can navigate a mid-week rust against a Giants lineup looking to snap out of its funk. Roupp has shown flashes of efficiency (last start: 0 ER, 4 hits, 6 K), but he faces a Tampa Bay offense that can cluster hits in bursts. The story here is pitcher's duel vibes, late-inning leverage, and how the park and recent form tilt the balance toward the under and a narrow spread play.
