October 16, 2025 6:08 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League playoff matchup featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings MLB single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Brewers vs. Dodgers matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
On Thursday night, Major League Baseball presents the third game of a seven-game National League playoff series featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering this evening’s National League playoff game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this seven-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers two days ago.
In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Milwaukee Brewers are playing below average baseball entering the third game of this National League playoff series. The Brewers have lost four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 6-0 shutout loss to the Chicago Cubs earlier this month.
Captain-Tyler Glasnow, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $11,600
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Glasnow performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran pitcher’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 18 starts made in 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow compiled a 4-3 (win-loss record) and a 3.19 ERA (Earned Run Average). It should also be noted that Glasnow has amassed a 1.10 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched) and 106 strikeouts while allowing 43 walks in 90.1 innings pitched this season.
What did we learn from the data just presented? The data clearly illustrates that Tyler Glasnow has the potential to post a large number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue later today.
In my view, Tyler Glasnow is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB playoff game (Draftkings price noted): Jose Quintana, Starting Pitcher (Milwaukee Brewers) $10,400: Freddie Freeman, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,000: Jackson Chourio, Outfielder (Milwaukee Brewers) $8,800.
