June 26, 2025 1:10 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with an American League matchup featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Guardians. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Guardians 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 tomorrow afternoon’s Blue Jays vs. Guardians matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
Captain-Tanner Bibee, Starting Pitcher, Cleveland Guardians $11,000
On Thursday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game American League series featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Guardians.
How are these two teams playing entering tomorrow’s MLB game? The Toronto Blue Jays arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians playing below average baseball. More specifically, the Blue Jays have lost seven of the team’s last 11 games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox last week.
In direct contrast to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Cleveland Guardians are currently playing quality baseball entering this tomorrow afternoon’s game. The Guardians have won five of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout win over the Athletics three days ago.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tomorrow’s contest. Starting pitcher Tanner Bibee has certainly been an important part of the Cleveland Guardians starting rotation this season. With that said, how has Bibee performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Bibee’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 15 starts made in 2025, Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee has compiled a 4-7 (win-loss record), a 3.86 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.23 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). Additionally, Bibee has amassed 75 strikeouts while allowing 28 walks in 88.2 innings pitched this season.
Last month, in the Cleveland Guardians 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins, Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee pitched exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Bibee pitched seven quality innings while scattering five hits and no walks in the Guardians victory over the Twins.
In my opinion, Tanner Bibee is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Kevin Gausman, Starting Pitcher (Toronto Blue Jays) $11,400: Steven Kwan, Outfielder (Cleveland Guardians) $8,400: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., First Baseman (Toronto Blue Jays) $9,400.
