As an unbiased fan it's a tough call. Based on where it hit the fan(s)/Betts it was clearly going to be a home run, but when looking at the replay you can see their hands reach out. Especially the guy with the long sleeve shirt and jeans towards the right, he's leaning practically on the walls edge reaching in the direction of the other fans and Betts.
The rule is clear on when it's legal and illegal for a fan to interact and this is about as close as it gets. Sucks for Houston, worked out for Boston.
Also why in the world in today's viewing of this game, are there not cameras in the outfield that have views of the walls edge?
