Boyle sits at 4.68 ERA with limited top-tier upside, but he can keep this Cardinals–Rays tilt in check and support an Under. His performance and bullpen backing are pivotal for Rays’ betting angles and for DFS players hunting value on a defensive, ground-ball game.

Boyle is Tampa Bay's starter with a 4.68 ERA and a 1-2 record; his last outing saw an 18.00 ERA with 4 ER in 4 hits, 2 walks, 3 Ks. He must locate his fastball and keep the Cardinals’ lineup at bay, especially in counts where Rays can trap hitters with secondary offerings.

Boyle (1-2, 3.82 ERA) is Tampa Bay’s Friday starter. His last outing carried a lofty 16.20 ERA with 5 walks and 5 Ks across the frame, fueling questions about consistency. Today’s duel against Roupp is a test of his ability to rebound and limit the Giants’ chances. A solid start could stabilize a Rays rotation, while a rough line may push fantasy pivots elsewhere.

Boyle struggled early, lasting just 3 1/3 innings as Seattle’s offense found the gaps. His short stint and the Rays’ bullpen exposure shaped the late-game outcome, highlighting the fragility of early exits in a close series.

Joe Boyle has shown significant promise, particularly with his high-velocity fastball and slider, and a recent shutout performance suggests he may be a valuable addition in fantasy leagues if he can maintain control.
