FanDuel Refunds Crowning Achievement Bets Robbed
FanDuel Sportsbook is paying gamblers who were robbed of 3 home runs during Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell's historic night of defense.
Adell snagged 3 balls headed over the fence, consisting of one that sent him tumbling into the stands, during Saturday's 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners.
- Adell captured 3 balls that were headed over the outfield wall and would've been home runs.
- The underdog Angels won the game and the series against their department rivals.

Adell powers the Angels' solid start
Adell wasn't much of an element on offense in Saturday's win. He hit one single but did not get on base otherwise and did not score the only run of the video game.
Despite that, his defensive performance earned appreciation from a legendary player who occurred to have a close-up view of his outfield burglaries.
Torii Hunter, a nine-time Gold Glove winner and five-time All-Star, who now works as a special assistant for the Angels, said that Adell probably played "the best defensive video game I have actually ever seen."
He likewise claimed to have "blacked out" when Adell, with whom he invested time dealing with defense during spring training, fell into the stands clutching his third robbery.
The Angels brought the momentum from Saturday night's thriller into the rubber match with the Mariners on Sunday, which ended 8-7 in their favor. Adell went 1-5 at the plate with an RBI and scored two times.
The Angels now sit at 5-5 on the season, one video game behind the AL West-leading Houston Astros. The Mariners are 4-6 and two games out of first in the very same division.
World Series and future odds
There are still more than 150 games left in the MLB routine season. Although the Angels have enjoyed a solid start, they still find themselves last in chances to win the AL West at FanDuel (+2700 ). The Mariners (+105) lead the odds board and are slightly ahead of the Astros (+230 ).
